[The Pidgey bristles for a moment as N crouches, but quickly gets distracted by the conversation. She looks from N to Thomas and back, then tilts her head curiously. ...Oh. They were given to you so they are yours. Human eggs!
She considers the questions, preening her wing idly. Back and forth eggs... probably not good. After a second she seems to decide this is the correct conclusion and nods sharply. She hops off the egg for a second, then back on, thinking about the second question.
Umm. If you gave me this egg it would be my egg! I would caretaker it. She blinks and studies the egg closely. It is not a Pidgey egg. It is something else. Silence for a few seconds; it seems she hadn't considered that yet. But it would be my egg so... my hatchling! She looks up at N earnestly, flapping her wings once for emphasis. Yes! She lowers her beak sadly. But it is not mine. Somewhat dejected, she hops a few feet away from the egg.
Thomas watches the Pidgey and takes a small step forward.] ...Did you convince her?
