Birds make eggs in many colours & patterns. One reason is camouflage. Many birds produce speckled eggs that blend in & hide them from predators.
Birds with white eggs often lay in holes, such as puffins, owls, and woodpeckers. They are hidden so no reason to make coloured eggs.
From 1931 to 1936 Albert Bender donated approx. 260 artefacts of East Asian origin to the NMI. Dr. Audrey Whitty, Head of Learning & Collections explores the cultural & collecting backdrop surrounding this gift. Available in our gift shop, & online:
