egg collection . . .

For the last year or so Steve and Austin have been slowly building a bird egg collection. It is something Steve did with his dad, and which he wants to carry on with Austin and Lily. We have 4 of them now, which are carefully stored away in cotton wool, waiting for the day we have a proper display box to store them in. Most of the eggs have been found abandoned and already empty, but for the last month or so some Indian Mynah's have been building a nest in the outside cupboard at Zubi. And being the pests that they are, Steve had no problem in stealing one of their cute little blue eggs, which he bought home and demonstrated the technique of blowing out an egg . . .
