Searched it up cause I was curious too. It's the white tern, and according to Wikipedia, the egg does roll off frequently. The bird simply doesn't care and lays another egg

The time they used to build a nest could be used to lay more egg.

What about hatchlings? Do they fall of the tree?

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, Wikipedia mentioned that they fall too. The article mentions that the hatchlings have wide feet to help lessen the chances that they fall
