    Remember, evolution doesn’t have an end goal other than good enough, the fact this isn’t working against the bird means it’s good enough

    I really gotta find out where I heard that quote

      Everytime I see this, my brain focuses on the bone cupping the bottom of the egg, and it hurts me. I don’t know what actually happens, but I know it hurts. Poor little birdy. What fruit in what garden did you eat, little bird?

        Everytime

        I was going to lampoon the comma splice but the made-up words for your response helped a lot. Thanks.

        And yet bbc had the audacity to gloss over this and claim the male does the hard work. While paternal care is normal for birds related to the ostrich, the male kiwi, has it the easiest.

      I never have a pithy way to correct people who mention survival of the fittest.

      It is, in fact, only survival of the fit enough.

    I have alerted my bro who is married to an Australian.

    I’m glad they’re being careful! Whew!
