Check this out! Our microwave died & when it was removed, we found THESE in the vent! What kind of eggs do you think they are? (I’m HORRIFIED to think that we were cooking these while we used the microwave!) #birds #birdwatching #birdsofmastodon
@rabbijill Difficult to tell how large these are. Are you sure they are bird eggs? If they're small, they could be gecko eggs.
@oboistaalli omg. They are around 3/4 - 1 inch

@rabbijill @oboistaalli

My first thought was gecko eggs too. They are notorious for laying eggs in every nook and cranny.

I suppose you would find them in other places too though so maybe some sort of bird?

@girasoli @oboistaalli I’ve never seen a gecko in our house and the microwave is high up - over the stove!
@rabbijill @oboistaalli
High up is no problem for a gecko. You will even find them on the ceiling ... or in my case one morning on my toothbrush! I lived in Hawaii for many years. They were permanent guests.

@rabbijill Could be gecko. This page (lots of weird ads) has a chart of gecko egg sizes:
