It's an evolutionary adaptation that has developed over millions of years. For centuries the porridge birds had their eggs made into delicious porridge omelets by the neanderthals, but alas, laying their eggs in the air saves their succulent eggs from becoming our breakfast.
No, hens are not the only female birds that lay eggs. Many other bird species, such as ducks, geese, and quail, also lay eggs.
No, only female chickens lay eggs.
That's the old Leprechaun scam!I'm not sure about the previous answer (above), but my response is either "I think we're all Bozos on this bus" or "Where Mr. President can I get a job?"(This letter was originally printed in The Straight Dopenewspaper column, sometime in '94 - I think - or maybe '93. No, it was '94. At least I'm pretty sure it was. Can I get back to you on this? -Doc)I've enjoyed your column for many years and was delighted to see a Firesign Theatre reference October 7. [A reader inquired why the porridge bird lays her eggs in the air.] For your information, the famous Zen question or virus which breaks the computer in our record "I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus" actually comes from a lovely woman named Angel I dated back in the '60s. She's from Texas, and claims that when she was a little girl a leprechaun appeared in her backyard one day while she was playing, asked her that exact question, and then laughed and ran away! I've always interpreted the query as referring to the ecological challenge that faces the planet; to wit, the steady loss of trees in which many birds are wont to nest. But it's obviously open to many interpretations, as is much of our work.Phil Proctor,Beverly Hills, CaliforniaWith all respect, the answer is obvious (hidden in plain sight): Because it is incapable of finding or reaching a hard vacuum.Don Doty,Greenwood, INPS, there are no leprechauns in Indiana, only Kentuckians; Texas analogy = Okies.
After biting you, mosquitoes feed on your blood to nourish themselves and lay eggs. They inject saliva into your skin, which can cause itching and irritation.
The Egg * The egg came first because other animals came before the chicken that had eggs of some kind. * One kind are the fish in the seas; fish lay eggs. Another are snakes; snakes also lay eggs. * Only if this question was asked as, "Which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?", would it be a paradox. * Sexually reproducing animals also have eggs- the question doesn't specify a type of egg. * Dinosaurs had eggs. * Darwin's theory; the chicken egg came from a different species. * A chicken could not have its genetic material altered during life, so the egg must have evolved and been first. * If you take into account the doctrine of evolution, the egg's coming first becomes plausible on the cellular level under perfect circumstances (abundant food and resources). There will be an a-sexual reproduction once the environment becomes unfavorable. The species would then evolve, and a lot of animals have no parental instincts but through evolution some have started to look after their young. * An a-sexual reproduction is reproduction in which there is no fusion of male and female sex cells gametes. * The egg came first because the chicken descended from a dinosaur, and it laid an egg that was changed from Darwin's theory. * The egg came first because a chicken comes from an egg. At whatever point you decide to call the chicken a true chicken, it must have come from an egg. Because the different species before it must have evolved to make a chicken, the egg came first.
BECAUSE IT HAD NO WERE ELSE TO HAHAHAHAHHAHHAAHHAAH
The least number of eggs a bird can lay is 1.
None. Bees don't lay bird eggs.
Yes, a dove is a bird. They also lay eggs as all birds do.
*Does the swallow bird lay eggs? A characteristic of a bird is that it lays eggs. A Swallow is a bird, therefore it lays eggs.
A male bird!
They lay eggs. Any species of bird any bird lays eggs.
Yes, all species of bird lay eggs.
yes
They lay 12-24 eggs in a season and lay them in other bird's nests even if there are other bird's young in there. the Cuckoo's put the other bird's Young in other Bird's nests.
All birds do lay eggs. The size, color, or shape of the eggs vary depending on the species of the bird.
well if its a bird if its not no if it is a bird yes
