User's notes

These magpie eggs were collected from 1955-1962 in the Griffith, Kingston, Red Hill and Narrabundah areas of the ACT. They show a wide variation in colour, shape and markings and may be of interest. Their length varies from 36 to 40mm. Can you suggest a good home for them?

I suspect individuals would need some sort of licence to keep those nowadays. You could try the CSIRO animal collection perhaps?

I will contact the CSIRO National Wildlife collection to find out. Chris

The eggs are not required by CSIRO. Chris
