Hi all.
Have you ever had the experience to hear a bird hhatching from its egg? Do you know if there are any sounds available on the internet i could listen to?
I was always wondered how birds when they hatch sound like and how long it takes them to break the egg and come out.
I know it must be the strangest question you ever heard but if you could share some thoughts about it it would be good.

Well Nicos, I think the shell just makes a crunching sound, like when you crack your eggs to scramble them or fry them at home and make the crack bigger with your thumb to extract the yolk and egg white. There are sound effects libraries where you may find the sounds of birds hatching though. Just type something like "sound effects library" in to Google and see what it comes up with.
