If that fossilized egg really is 1200 years old, I’m surprised she’s allowed to hold it, and without gloves.
Might need a mask too, in case somebody accidentally breaks the egg open.
A real mask, not those cheap doillies used for Covid.

The birds would still be roaming the planet if not for SUVs and “carbon emissions.” Way to go earthlings.

Well a fossilized egg is essentially just a rock.

Not recommended as pets for a beginner bird owner. Their screech would be loud enough to break a wine glass.
Neighbors would be complaining.

What is it that early humans are doing that’s resulting in extinction of big animals, especially?

Gee, I don't know. Killing and eating them, maybe? This guy's in line for the Nobel Prize in Duh.
