Kodagu: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six blue eggs of the rare Indian Robin bird were found at a coffee estate in Kodagu recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6 eggs were found nesting securely in a nest made of hay on a plant amidst the coffee estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eggs were found by the farm workers of the estate owned by a woman named Pushpa in Bettathur village in Kodagu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the mother was found nowhere around the nest the eggs nested safe and secure from the current harsh climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports Robins usually lay four eggs and then stop. However, Pushpa and her staff found six bright blue eggs in this nest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the female bird\u2019s job to maintain the proper incubation temperature, keeping the eggs warm during cold weather and shaded during hot weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blue colour in robin eggs is due to biliverdin, a pigment deposited on the eggshell when the female lays the eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is some evidence that higher biliverdin levels indicate a healthier female and brighter blue eggs. Eggs laid by a healthier female seemed to encourage males to take more interest in their young ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
