Interesting post. Lots of opinions. And nobody knows for sure, so that is what makes it interesting.

Double Camp, interesting theory, the eggs go through the digestive system. The grinding action in the gizzard should nullify that, but does all food go through the gizzard?

Here is a thought, what if the eggs are in the fish, when the fish is swallowed by the bird. Thus the eggs are protected from the stomach acids, etc. and are expelled whole into new waters. Hmmm...
