By the way, you can save empty eggs, let the dry out and use them as face eggs. They are perfect, if a little fragile.

I have saved ten eggs just by sitting them on a shelf in my room and leaving them there for a month or so. They don't seen to rot, even if you don't drain them.

No, they don't rot.
They just dry out over time, and can be used, if your very careful with them.

I was first thinking I could make some into Ukranian Easter eggs, until I realized I have no tools, no wax, and no skill with anything resembling paint.

They seem to take turns with the zebra finches. :)
When the society's are eating the zebras sit on the eggs.

You've heard that it takes a village to raise a child, well Zebras and Socies really take it to heart :D

Yep, and even my siskins and goldfinches are checking if the eggs are still there. The previous owner always took them away.
