I was just wondering, since there is a lovely young couple of blackbirds nesting in my backyard.. what comes first?
Do birds build a nest in the right season and when they feel that they've build a good enough home, the eggs start to grow?
Or is it the other way around?
Do eggs start to grow inside of the female and she feels she needs to build a place to raise her babies?
Chickens on farms have a good place and they lay eggs all the time. Would they still lay eggs all the time if the lived somewhere less safe? And if a bird made a nest and was waiting for her eggs to come and the nest was destroyed for whatever reason, would she lay the egg somewhere unsafe because she had to get rid of it? Or not? Maybe it's not the same for all birds?
Please, help. I am wondering about blackbirds in particular.
