1 Normally flickers lay 6 or 7 eggs.  Cowbirds (which parasitize the nests of other birds) usually lay about six eggs (one each day) in different nests, wait a few days, and then start again. They may lay more than 11-20 eggs per season. A captive female was recording laying 77 eggs, 67 of those in a continuous sequence.
What is nystagmus? Nystagmus is an involuntary condition in which the eyes make rapid, repeated, uncontrolled movements. These eye movements may be in any direction including horizontally, vertically, or rotationally (in a circle). Many people with nystagmus do not experience visual symptoms.
The presence of nystagmus in a patient usually indicates some problem with the labyrinth, vestibular nerve, or vestibular nuclei, but it also occurs as a part of the cerebellar dysfunction following over-consumption of alcohol. Nystagmus also results from certain viral infections involving the vestibular system.
