Birdwatching doesn't always mean hiking
to exotic locations or wandering deep into the forest in search
of feathered friends. Adaptable to almost any environment, many
species of birds have made our homes their own. Whether pecking
about city streets for crumbs, nesting in a windowsill or dining
from a feeder in your own back yard, you never have to look far
for the species of wild birds right at home around human beings.

A bird's egg is designed to be incredibly strong. In fact, if you
hold a regular chicken egg, you won't be able to break it by squeezing
it in your hand. Eggs are designed to withstand an incredible amount
of pressure from all sides -- it's only when a single spot is targed
(like cracking it on the edge of a bowl) that it's susceptible to
break.
