-Some members of this species may toss eggs in some adverse situations, such as to make space for new eggs when a nest is full or when the egg is unfertilized. Recently, a new event was discovered to trigger egg toss: when predation levels are high and clutch size becomes too small, some gray-capped social weaver parents may toss their eggs as a strategy to maximize its reproductive success, which is alleged to be a new feature in social birds, and is called parental tossing.
