No dye needed for these eggs
The American robin doesn't go out of its way to hide its colored eggs, nor does it need watercolor to celebrate Easter! Thanks to a process in the mother's blood, her eggs—which she can lay up to three times each year—are always colored this lovely shade of blue. There's even a name for the hue, 'robin's-egg blue.'
