What does it mean to be "one of the best egglayers"? Prolificacy? Regularity? Hitting an intended spot in the nest? This claim doesn't offer much context. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 18:20, 7 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

From the two mentions of eggs in the article and a review of the sources thereof it seems that the quantity of eggs is primary to this claim but the size of its eggs might be a factor as well. - House of Scandal (talk) 19:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
