| Egg tossing or egg destruction is a behaviour observed in some species of birds where one individual removes an egg from the communal nest; which is related to infanticide. This behaviour is observed in avian species, most commonly females, who are involved with cooperative breeding or brood parasitism. Among colonial non-co-nesting birds, egg-tossing is observed to be performed by an individual of the same species. Tossing of eggs is non-accidental: the intruder rolls the egg to the edge of the nest by repeatedly flicking it with its beak. During co-nesting, before a bird starts laying its own eggs, it tosses out other eggs laid previously by another female. As a result, the last egg-layers may contribute more eggs to the common nest: this will increase the chances that newly laid eggs bearing the genetic material of that female will have a better chance of survival. In some species, egg-tossing is a strategy of clutch coordination: eggs are tossed until all birds in the common nest are ready to proceed with brooding. Preventing early egg-layers from dominating reproduction. Laying eggs late can be detrimental to the offspring once the egg is hatched since it will be smaller than their siblings thus increasing the risk of death. Performing this behaviour increases the offspring per individual compared to those in single pairs and many species have learnt to adapt to increase the chances of their offspring to survive. |
