There will be no pies or cakes that were made with milk that was meant for calves, or eggs that represent dead male chicks , forced molting, debeaking and other mutilations and cruelties. When in the position of having the choice, which so far is always, I'd rather choose not to have someone killed for me. Because it tastes good.

The opening beautifully encapsulates the essence of the book. The book, like the opening scene, is a deft combination of her personal observations of birds most of us rarely see, in a wild place very few people have visited, and of the natural histories of these birds. Do I need to say anything more? And, this was badly needed.

Gisela Kaplan has written a book about the species, and how they seem unperturbed by humans: “It’s one of their most successful defense strategies. When these birds breed, this can lead to highly cringeworthy announcements, for example from Adelaide Zoo : “We have egg-citing news!” This is what killed James Dean.

The good news is that if you know someone who needs to be schooled on all of the sordid details of factory farming, and appreciates good writing, this is a great book. Also, if, like me, you know someone who appreciates the things we do with language to mask the reality of our behavior, this is a great book. Not great, but good.

What wasn’t publicised at the time, but the scientist later both admitted and owned, is that the kingfisher was then killed and collected for scientific reasons. Box after box of egg. Their original and crucial function is being lost as museums struggle to balance the books and keep the punters amused.

Each year tens of thousands of these gulls go to the islands and each pair will lay three eggs. Most of these clutches of eggs will hatch to produce three fluffy and adorable chicks. By way of an example take the Western Gulls that I studied on the Farallon Islands in California.

Another book, maybe a bird finding guide. Written by David Callahan and edited by Dominic Mitchell, the book originated as a series conceived by and written for Birdwatch magazine, a monthly magazine out of Great Britain. In birding, we like to think that we don’t need much ‘stuff’. Maybe a spotting scope. And a long lens camera.

To be honest, both the robin and the flycatchers shown above remind me of the easter eggs I hunted for as a child – the same strong colors in front of a green background, same time of the year (feel free to insert your own Proust Madeleine reference here) … Bluethroats apparently are good at imitating other birds. .

An example is this study showing that indeed, cuckoo eggs are stronger than the eggs of the host species. Indeed, the German name of one shrike species (the Red-backed Shrike) is “Neuntoeter”, “Killer of nine”, which is derived from the folk thought that the bird would first kill 9 prey items before eating one.

Fortunately for the buntings, they seem to detect most cuckoo eggs smuggled in (75% in one study). A study found that for Plain Prinia , egg characteristics in a mainland China location with many cuckoos make it much easier to spot cuckoo eggs than in a Taiwan location with few cuckoos ( source ). Better safe than sorry.
