1Which is not to be understood, as if she left them there on purpose or designedly to warm them in the dust, for that were a piece of discretion, but she is reproved for improvidence; and therefore where 'tis said, she leaves them, the meaning is, she looks no more after them, they are little beholding to her, she will not (as some intimate) take pains, nor hath she the patience to sit on them, and hatch them as other fowls do. Several Authors affirm, that the eggs thus left, are hatched by the heat or warmth of the Sun. This Rochartus rejects as a mere dream, affirming, That all her eggs, so left in the sands, are corrupted, not hatched; and tells us from others, that the Ostrich having forgotten where she left her own eggs, happening upon the eggs of some other Ostrich, sits upon and hatches them; according to which, the Chaldee saith, She brings young ones which are not truly hers. But I leave these things to the consideration of the Reader.
