* About Eggs and Braziers
---------------------------
Braziers are available at the Shop of Wonders, priced in gold. When you
purchase an egg, hatch it in the appropriate brazier. A bird will hatch
from the egg. (Note: of course, the egg will be destroyed in the
process. If you desire to keep an egg, well, don't hatch it.) The
precise mechanics of hatching an egg are yours to figure out. The birds
range from canaries to hummingbirds to swallows to many more, and the
type of bird that hatches from your egg will depend on the type of
brazier you use to hatch it. We'll leave it for you to figure out the
combinations.
The eggs and the birds are for decoration/fun only. They are not meant
for any utility nor combat purpose. If you happen to find a way to use
them in such a way, please consider that a bug and report it using BUG.
As with all artefacts, the birds hatched from the eggs will reset to their
owner.
All birds will respond to "Sing, <bird type>." Metal and gemstone birds
will respond to "Fly up, <bird type>" and "Land, <bird type>". Gemstone
birds will respond to "Hop up, <bird type>" as well as "Come along, <bird
type>".
