    Wait how does that work? Why does the egg not just… roll over?

      Searched it up cause I was curious too. It’s the white tern, and according to Wikipedia, the egg does roll off frequently. The bird simply doesn’t care and lays another egg

      As long as more eggs are hatched than fall, it works.

      Though, “your parents dropped you as an egg” jokes seem… appropriate,

          Eh, now we’re getting into when is it a bird…

          (Sorry, sorry.)

          But as long as you have one or two eggs hatching, it doesn’t matter if a couple dozen fall.

          Or more.

        I guess their intelligence has it’s own gravity that stops the egg from rolling over

        True it’s entirely a skill issue
