Can a chipping sparrow have two size of eggs?

No, but a cowbird lays eggs in the nests of other species, and that may be the case here.


Found a purple finch nest in our blue spruce when you checked the nest for eggs you found eight eggs five were very small and solid light blue the other three were a pale green with brown spots?

I believe some species of birds steal others birds eggs and raise them as their own but I suggest you look up purple finches on the internet or a book and read about them laying eggs to be sure. I've never heard of birds stealing other eggs and brooding them but what I do know for sure is that the Brown Headed Cowbird does not make it's own nest and lays its eggs in other birds nests. The Cowbird is actually considered a parasite in that it's eggs will hatch first and dominate the nest. In some circumstances some of the intended hatchlings could starve to death or be killed by the young Cowbirds. Simply remove the brown spotted eggs.

Should you remove cowbird egg from finch nest?

The Cowbird never has its own nest - it uses the finch nest as its host (read: parasite.) The Cowbird egg will hatch first & will push the other eggs or baby finches out of the nest. Other species of birds will get rid of the Cowbird eggs, but finches don't seem to. I always remove them when found.

How are buffalo horns and bison horns different?

AnswerBison horns curve inward and point at each other. Buffalo horns curve outward. Bull bison horns NEVER point towards each other, only the cow (female) ones do. The words buffalo and Bison (which both literaly translate to "Ox like animal") can both refer to the American Plains Bison (Bison bison bison) and the American Woods Bison (Bison bison athabascae- which is larger). Both species have similar horns. Water buffalo horns are much different.
