  Oology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oology is the branch of zoology that deals with the study of eggs, especially birds' eggs.
It can also be applied to the hobby of collecting wild birds' eggs (which is now illegal in many jurisdictions).
Oology includes the study of the breeding habits of birds, and the study of their nests.

 A Plea for Comparative Oology
Whether the work of the systematist or that of the oologist is the more important is not material, after all; their re- suits should be mutually helpful and supplementary and the real value of either must depend upon the ability of the individual and his capacity for accurately ascertaining and interpreting facts.
It has been said of oology that "hardly any branch of the pract!cal study of natural history brings the enquirer so closely in contact with many of its secrets," and probably it is this feature which gives it so wide an appeal.
Further investigation of the varous swallows' eggs illustrates one principle in oology which is fairly con- stant, namely, that eggs hidden in holes are apt to be white, or nearly so; R.

 Early Oologists in North Dakota   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Oology, the branch of ornithology that focuses on the study of eggs, may have been as popular a pursuit in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as stamp collecting is today.
Most North American ornithologists at the turn-of-the-century collected bird eggs, or had done so during some earlier stage in their career, and oology was generally accepted by persons of learning as a scientifically legitimate and respectable pursuit.
However, by 1940 oology as a popular hobby had died — victim to a burgeoning conservation consciousness in this country.

 Birds - Ornithology - The curate's egg
In the 1800s and early 1900s one of the most important periods in the growing science of ornithology oology (the study of eggs) was considered a worthwhile and important aspect of the study of birds.
Almost simultaneously in England, a journal dedicated to oology announced that, through unprecedented public pressures, it was to cease publication.
Casting a modern and hopefully more objective eye on this episode of scientific history, it is possible to make a far more favourable evaluation of the early egg collecting activities.

 A Defense of Oology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
EFORE giving my views to the readers of THE CONDOR I wish to state I consider oology an inseparable part of ornithology, but, as it has been separated by some and completely divorced by others, I am forced to use the term.
However, it is not my opinion that any such separation of the study of eggs, birds or nests is necessary, as the gathering of all facts in the study of them in my idea, is scientific and is ornithology.
I believe it time to sound a note of warning, for sometime in the future, eggs will be given their proper place in bird study and the coast Museums should have adequate space reserved for their accommodation.
