From the supplier: Ceramic eggs simulating real eggs were used to test the hypothesis that increasing forest fragmentation results in increased avian predation. The results show a 57% rate of nest disturbance by avian predators and is comparable to results of previous studies wherein avian predators are implicated. The results also proved the effectiveness of using ceramic eggs in studies of avian predation, since mammalian predators, which use olfaction to ferret out real eggs, did not affect the results of the study.
