Less about differences in bird egg shapes and more about why guillemot eggs are the shape they are. Still, interesting! Would like the title revised, though. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world!
SO cool! Thanks for sharing your expertise! Your three explanations are each very compelling, and make more intuitive sense than the flight efficiency theory. Maybe it's some combination of all four! I hope Science is willing to publish additional papers to reflect additional information on this topic.
Totally in accordance with your theories, within ornithology, oology has been one of the fields of research that has fascinated me most and I also felt skeptical about the relationship between flight efficiency and egg shape.
Thank you professor. Im also a teacher and would like to perform a few experiments with my kids. Is there any chance to have the possibility of asking 4/6 eggs of this specific bird (for the purpose mencioned). Congratulations and my aprecciation. Bruno Novo (Portugal)

Extremely interesting. Thank you, prof. Birkhead.
Fabulous Tim, many thanks, and congrats on not being distracted by the wonderful seabird 'heckling'...

fascinating - thank you

The automated sub-titles really struggle with this! Nice theory.

It's so hard to hear him over the birds. Why didn't they place the mike closer to Tim!
Eggstrordinary!
