How invasive house sparrows are helping scientists detect dangerous contaminants

The house sparrow is a highly invasive pest in North Carolina, and bluebird enthusiasts frequently throw their eggs out and remove their nests to keep them from overtaking the nestboxes that bluebirds call home. A new study puts those discarded eggs to use in detecting heavy metal contaminants in bluebird habitats, which often border human communities.

Update on my little hummingbird, Rosie. She laid 4 eggs! The first 2 were not viable so she abandoned them for a few weeks. She then came back to lay her second set of eggs and has been sitting on them day and night. You can tell which are the old vs new eggs. This has not happened in the last 4 years so it’s cool to see how every year is different. Can’t wait u til they hatch! 🥰

@Nigel_Lake #Vegan has proved a step too far for me, although I like some vegan #foods. I'm a #vegetarian, rather than a vegan - I just can't do without my #eggs & #dairy, although I have tried. A much-reduced #meat diet, & one with a certain amount of #fish, would suit a lot of people, would be healthy, & good for the #planet!
