I dont think Harry has climed a tree at all, there was another egg in my rabbit pen

I've just sat for several seconds thinking' rabbits don't lay eggs - do they?'  In my defence I hadn't seen this thread before and my PC displays threads with the last post first so didn't see any of the posts before about birds  :evillaugh:

I read that and thought of this....

ps...best not to ask!  :rofl:
pic nicked from Fluffy! Ta!  ;D

Lupus quite often brings in whole nests  :(.  as he's brain damaged he never manages to catch birds, just frogs and nests.  i've caught him a few times devouring the contents of the nests in my kitchen. luckily, to date they've only been undeveloped eggs.
Awwwww bless  :Luv:

Well Mary with the amount of birds he had last year I dont think he was catching them in mid flight, some of them couldn't even fly  :(

Aw, poor birdies.  I've not heard of anything like this before.  But then again we get to hear about everything on here don't we? I learn more on here than reading the papers or watching TV.

Magpies often drop eggs, it could have been a lucky find

Oh God so not only is he killing birds, he's stealing them from the nest before they are even born  :(

So will they be climbing the tree for them?  :Crazy:

Explains where all those baby birds came from last year, there was just no way he was catching them all.

Is it possible for a cat, Harry in question, to steal an egg from its nest?  :shocked:

I have just noticed Ted out the back licking something white and when I went to have a look it was an egg, urgh!

I have picked it up and as it was cracked I opened it. There seemed to be a chick in it but not properly formed and yellow liquid.

The shell of the egg was white and a little larger than a Quail egg.

Harry has also been acting very strange, sitting looking through the fence at me then dissapearing  :shify:
