Uniquely created
So, as I have posted last month I have 2 yappy little birds, they are both a little over a year old and are a mated pair. Almost ever since I have had them, they have been attempting to reproduce. Well, all of this work has payed off for Simba and Paka. There is now a little nest in the box that I provided for them, it now has 5 eggs as of right now. From candling (holding a light up to the egg to make the inside glow) It seems that at least 3 of those eggs are fertile. You can see little veins on the inside of the egg. You make ask what is so amazing about an egg? Well the birds can now not have to carry around all that weight for one things, it helps them fly. On top of that I learned something really cool from watching a video on creation. As soon as the momma bird gets pregnant she starts to develop a small spot on her stomach where she losses feathers. Then that spot starts to increase by 5 times the number of blood vessels. The mother then uses this patch not to just warm the eggs, but some how get a reading on the temperature of those eggs. Then she can make adjustments according to that information. So don't get mad when I laugh at you when you tell me things evolved.
