Sophia Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaide Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I think they're sparrow's eggs - they're generally that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15hguy Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 actually you are right LA, Thrush are blue with black speckles and Blackbirds are Blue with Brown spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 bengalese are very common in the Tauranga area. Mum keeps buying them, and they keep getting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 wow wild parrots! What type of parrot? those multi coloured ones that fly about chattering, these I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 those multi coloured ones that fly about chattering, these I think Eastern rosella are quite common around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 those multi coloured ones that fly about chattering, these I think 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 There are a few kaka abound in these parts as well, real nice birds to see around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, they'd be need to be genetically engineered with giant teeth and claws to fight cats and dogs off with. Adult kakapo are pretty much indestructible, it's the young and juvenile that are weak and die easily. Don't see any of the native parrots often, unfortunately. Get them in big enough numbers and they would out dominate the exotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
