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.
As a result, both eyes are unable to steadily view objects. People with nystagmus might nod and hold their heads in unusual positions to compensate for the condition. Generally, nystagmus is a symptom of another eye or medical problem. Fatigue and stress can make nystagmus worse. However, the exact cause is often unknown. The forms of nystagmus include: 1  Infantile. Most often develops by 2 to 3 months of age. 2  Spasmus nutans. Usually occurs between 6 months and 3 years of age and improves on its own between 2 and 8 years of age. 3  Acquired. Develops later in childhood or adulthood.
