The European starling is known to eat its own eggs, particularly in times of stress or food scarcity. This behavior, called "egg cannibalism," can occur in various bird species as a survival strategy. It allows them to obtain nutrients from the eggs and can also help reduce competition for limited resources. Other birds, such as some species of gulls and crows, may also exhibit similar behaviors under certain conditions.
