LORAKEET
Maybe I should find a photo of a Lorakeet as there aren't many of this bird in the USA. They're Australian. Loud, colorful, big, bright and the aviary in Vany Nuys has a match set and several unfertilized eggs. He was quite happy to let me have one. Note the brown speckles, let it hide in the shadows of a nest.
Nearly 40 years ago I walked in to the Ukrainian Gift Shoppe in St. Paul, Minnesota, and walked out with several beautiful eggs. Thus starts a collection. Only a few are highly valuable, but they are all prized and enjoyed

BANTY
If I were ever to raise chickens, I would have to have at least one banty. Yes, I know you'd have to have twice a many to make an omelet, their eggs are must about 1/2 size of "regulation size" chicken, but I do love their fluff. They have amazing feathers, all down their feet and ankles to, and they act like their giants among the flocks. Can you lap train a banty? I think they take themselves to seriously for that, but I still find them fun to watch.
