Heheh.<br /><br />Becky, maybe Dale would have an idea for a solution for you... he's quite inventive. He should go read about your problem on <a href="http://luedtkeland.blogspot.com/2010/06/breakfast.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a> and then <a href="http://luedtkeland.blogspot.com/2010/07/neater-eater-please.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. Okay, Dale?<br /><br />How did you get hatched? Ummm... I think that's a question for your mom.

Then put the cowbird egg back. <br />This also gives the cowbird the opportunity to hatched her own egg.<br /><br />Dale the cynic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-62608074756619616902010-07-14T22:20:08.035-05:002010-07-14T22:20:08.035-05:00Oh, Becky... a gun might be more effective!

But I bet that'd be illegal, too. ;)<br /><br />Dale, do you think it might be considered "legal" to experiment... just in the name of... oh, something official-sounding? Like if I did a test and removed the cowbird egg just to see if and/or how many times a cowbird would replace an original? Could I get by with that, y'think? I could record the results and it just might be a help to all of birddom, who knows?Grandma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260178906088230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-34728658835559791632010-07-14T21:51:27.504-05:002010-07-14T21:51:27.504-05:00I would view tossing the cowbird egg with about th...I would view tossing the cowbird egg with about the same sentiment as swatting a mosquito.<br />Most likely the cowbird won't lay another egg in there.<br />Timing is everything in this game. If the sparrow eggs hatch way before the cowbird egg, then the tables are turned for the cowbird because the little sparrows will be much more developed when the cowbird egg hatches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-78555667946663965972010-07-14T21:22:01.433-05:002010-07-14T21:22:01.433-05:00Maybe you really do not want to be asking me at th...Maybe you really do not want to be asking me at the moment. I am ready to aim my hose on the jet stream setting and spray at the branch above my car every time I hear "bip". Perhaps tomorrow I'll have a kinder heart towards birds who survive because of other birds. But not tonight!The Luedtke Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308696764271755723noreply@blogger.com
