Up to 24 eggs can be found in the nest of the Kurapatka, and 2-4 eggs in the nest of the peregrine falcon. How can you explain the differences in the number of eggs laid by birds of different species

All due to many different factors. Animals try to give a lot of offspring when most of the offspring dies. Fish lay thousands of eggs. The partridge can lay up to 24 eggs. Even people used to try to have as many children as possible due to the high mortality rate. Falcons and other predators do not always produce many offspring. They are not in danger and, moreover, they will need to be fed. Partridges become prey, so there should be more of them so that there is a great chance of survival of several individuals. There are fewer predators, so there is less competition.
