When birds lay eggs they usually sit on them and keep them warm. Just like when a human is pregnant, our baby stays warm inside our body. If we freeze to death outside, our baby would die. If the eggs aren't kept at the temperature of the parents they wont be warm enough and they baby birds will not grow inside.
