There is an avian lifeform in the tree two meters to our left.  It's nest is on the ground.  There are two peach colored eggs in the nest, each approximately 60 centimeters in diameter.  If we can manage to gather one, I can scan it for edibility.  The hard part will be getting the parent bird out of the nest.  I can divert the parent, are you willing to go after the egg?"
