經過公園，地上半只蛋殼，竟然是藍綠色！黏著紙條，殼上有類似糞便物體。請問：蛋都會藍綠色？ 係什麽鳥咁出奇？


On the park ground, Egg Shell in bluish green — Any idea what bird this belong to？

Given the size comparison and the colour, my guess would be Oriental Magpie Robin.

Thanks Louislee.

Magpie Robin eggs aren't plain blue like this - they usually have dark brownish spots on a pale blue background.
To me, these look more like the eggs of a starling or myna. Depending on the location, probably Crested Myna, but perhaps White-shouldered Starling if they breed nearby.

Thanks ajohn for your hint.
Just in a park in Kwun Tong. Maybe black collar starling, or crested myna that are usually seen there.
But just wonder the egg could be so coloured, hence my query.
