The Malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata) is a stocky ground-dwelling Australian bird about the size of a domestic chicken (to which it is distantly related)

The bird nest article is a gold mine.

Eggs and young in scrape nests—and the adults that brood them—are more exposed to predators and the elements than those in more sheltered nests; they are on the ground and typically in the open, with little to hide them. The eggs of most ground-nesting birds (including those that use scrape nests) are cryptically colored to help camouflage them when the adult is not covering them; the actual color generally corresponds to the substrate on which they are laid.

Reason #129:

When I was younger and downstairs watching TV late by myself, I would always hear my mom sniffing if she ever came downstairs.

I asked her when I was an adult if she knew that she did this every single time, and she said, “Yeah, I did it whenever it was late at night so you would hear me coming and I wouldn’t scare you all of a sudden in the dark.”

I thought that was pretty funny and cute.

Her new comic is spot on.
