Please help!? I have a baby bird egg and i don't know if its alive or not. Its an american robin.
Answers:
In a dark room hold it horazontally and shine a flashlight on one end. If you see a dark shape, then thats the bird! if it looks the same all the way through then there is no bird.
taste it and you will see.
Please do not shake it! Try to get a stethoscope and listen for a beat.
zomg, just smash the damn egg
Well, there is techically only one way to find out... break it!
do not touch leave it alone parents will take care of it, if you touched keep worm and wait oat meal mix in water to feed.
One, keep it warm until you know for sure.
Try holding it up against a bright light... it will be difficult to tell if there's a chick in there or not unless it's fairly well developed, but give it a shot.
Unfortunately, robin's eggs make tiny omelettes.
Good luck to ya!
Well.. I suggest you take it to the vet and like them handle it. Don't do anything that would harm them. But the other comment about how you should try to listen to a heart a good idea.
Gently spin the egg on a counter...if it spins fast and true then there is a solid form inside. If it spins slow with a wobble"like its drunk" then there is nothing but mush inside.
There is a 99% chance that it is dead if it is in your possesion. If not turned and warmed the egg dies quickly.
Get a small flashlight (very bright like mag lite) go in the bathroom and turn off the light. Put the light up to the broad end of the egg. If you see an embryo with the spidery blood veins it has a baby. If it just glows it is not fertile. If the egg is very far along you may see the embryo moving.
Candle it.
Take the egg into a dark room and hold a flashlight up to it. If there is an embryo in the egg you will see blood vessels and or the embryo (partial of full).
If you can't incubate it properly,it won't really matter if it is alive or not because without proper incubation it won't stay alive long.
DON'T TOUCH IT!! If you touch it the mother will never come back for it..I should know I have 4 birds with eggs in my front yard! Just wait for the hatching process
SHAKE IT!!
ok, take a bit of card board, poke a tiny hole in it, then put that piece of card board lightly on the egg, go in a dark place and shine a flash light in the hole n u can se something, if there are big circles, it is possible that u might have a live bird, look for veins, it could be an air cell
omg.. lol
yes the flashlight thing may work... but if she sees a baby inside the egg... and with the egg being cold.. the baby bird is not going to hatch... im sorry but if you see a bird inside the egg.. its no longer alive..
and the comments about the mom coming back for the egg..
how in the heck is she supposed to pick the egg up??
in her beak??? and carry it up to her nest??? NO!
im sure she pushed the egg out.. the mother can tell if the egg is not fertile.. even if she she accidentally pushed it out... the egg will not be fertile unless its warm constantly..
dont u notice how the mom sits on the nest..while the daddy brings the food?
also vets will not take the egg..
thank you for caring enough to ask questions...
but the egg is no good.
