Ravens and grazers such as marsh wrens feed on eggs, if the nest is left unattended, destroying the eggs, occasionally drinking from them, and pecking the nestlings to death.
Eggs are oval, smooth and slightly glossy, and measure 24.8 mm × 17.55 mm.
Their diet consists almost entirely of insects, very few of which are useful species, and herb seeds.
