Comment: In this video a group of researchers talks about development of artificial eggs, it hasn't been peer-reviewed yet, but birds did successfully hatch. It is part of the technology that they are developing to help in de-extinction of lost bird species, some of which might have eggs far bigger than those seen by any existing bird.
Comment: The video traces back to the artist who actually saw a dead preserved dodo, with talks with an art historian, and how the popularized appearance of the dodo has been compromised throughout the historical record. How other artists produced more accurate images with actual experience with the live bird. And tells of the de-extinction initiative to try and bring it back. It's a very entertaining and educational video.
