Wanted: Bird Eggs

[birdsandwildlife]

I am looking for any smaller sized bird eggs, preferably smaller than quail eggs. They do not need to be fertile. Please let me know if you're willing to assist.

Interesting. Are you wanting eggs for a craft project? I'm sure members would love to hear about your planned use for these eggs.

Welcome to the forum! There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, where you will find many articles on finch care and breeding. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier to answer locale-specific questions later on.

I have two egg eating snakes. One is big enough to eat quail eggs from the store but the smaller one will need slightly smaller eggs for another month or so.

Where are you located? These eggs would have to be shipped, right, which is difficult to do without them breaking? Also, don't be too surprised if you don't get a lot of response, since for many finch keepers, the thought of their babies' eggs going to feed a snake is not a pleasant one.

The small finch eggs dry up and would be of little use very quickly. I think you would need pretty fresh eggs and like Sally mentioned most finch keepers are not keen on that idea.

Where are you located? I was giving my canary eggs to the dog. I feel if I don't want them to breed, I hate just throwing out the eggs. I Think another animal consuming the eggs is a good use of the nutrients.

Strange ideas

I am in CT. Yes the eggs have to be shipped and once in a while they do break, but I talked to another egg eating snake keeper and less than 3% of the eggs are broken in transport. I can provide full instructions on how to ship plus compensation for the effort and the cost of shipping if anyone is willing to help.
