They emerged from their bloody rampage leaving fifteen adults dead, and fifteen destroyed nests with either smashed or missing eggs. There are eggs that are not viable, nestlings who fail to thrive, natural predators who snatch a chick for a meal, freak storms that blow through and destroy part of a population.

Christo, like a sensible Darwinian creature, has been trying it out with a number of other candidates to put eggs in his nest. This has been reported extensively in my favorite neighborhood blog, E.V. Cue scandal! Grieve , and fair enough – a mid-sized raptor fight is pretty notable even in Tompkins Square Park.

Well, the blog is back just in time for me to post a story… which is annoying as it would be nice to have a week off without having to fabricate a story for Mike and Corey to cover my bone idle nature. Sadly, the downtime means that the usual post crafting process got slightly short-circuited this week.

Or picture yourself as a bird fetus within an egg. Drinking and peeing through the egg shell? And it can be stored easily by the bird fetus within the egg.

She eats eggs for their protein. She's so close. And sometimes cheese. She doesn't tolerate beans and already takes probiotics and digestive enzymes. She might be gluten intolerant. She can't eat a lot of nuts or nut butters, though she does love them so. She is very thin and has a history of gut-related issues. Any suggestions?
