Article Synopsis
- Birds need to keep their eggs warm and safe for them to grow properly, which means parents have to spend a lot of time sitting on the eggs.
- Researchers studied how much time 1,414 duck nests in California were watched by parent ducks and found that they spent more time on the nests as they got closer to hatching.
- After the parents finished laying all their eggs, they paid more attention to the nests at night, especially if they had more eggs to take care of, which helped keep the eggs at the right temperature.
