Found these laying under a hibiscus bush in our garden, essentially in the middle of the lawn. They seem too big for all birds I've seen around here - blackbirds, sparrows, minah birds, starlings, wild parrots, but not big enough to be duck eggs, who I have seen about half a KM away. My only suggested theory is that a hedgehog rolled them there after stealing them from the nest of a hairy mammoth.

they are anthony's :rotf:

wow wild parrots! What type of parrot?

I think they're sparrow's eggs - they're generally that colour.

eeeeeeekkk Monster sparrows!!!!!

I would go for Thrush eggs

blackbird

actually you are right LA,

Thrush are blue with black speckles and Blackbirds are Blue with Brown spots.

used to breed cinnamon and white ones

nothing like a white black bird

hrmmm... white birds

somehow it seems kinda racist

what about turtle eggs?

they are anthony's :rotf:

Saw a flock of sparrows over the park a couple of days ago and one was white. Couldn't get close enough to take a good look but will keep trying.

probably an escaped Zebra finch, swear I saw a flock of bengalese the other day at the mount

although I've seen white speckled sparrows before

bengalese are very common in the Tauranga area. Mum keeps buying them, and they keep getting out.

those multi coloured ones that fly about chattering, these I think

Eastern rosella are quite common around here.

Rosellas.

Don't see any of the native parrots often, unfortunately. Be awesome to have kakapos running around everywhere. Of course, they'd be need to be genetically engineered with giant teeth and claws to fight cats and dogs off with.

There are a few kaka abound in these parts as well, real nice birds to see around.

Adult kakapo are pretty much indestructible, it's the young and juvenile that are weak and die easily.

Get them in big enough numbers and they would out dominate the exotics.
