🪺

Nest with Eggs Emoji 🪺

A twig nest holding two or three pale eggs, styled more like a generic songbird's clutch than any particular species. It's become the default choice for pregnancy announcements and family-growing posts online, the eggs doing the talking before anyone says the actual words out loud.

What 🪺 means

A brown nest shown with a pair of or three bluish eggs placed in it. The emoji's design is the same as the 🪹 Nest emoji, only with the addition of the eggs.

The 🪺 Nest With Eggs emoji refers to a budding bird family. But, it's a lot more versatile than just that. We were all eggs at some point, after all. This emoji further symbolizes the beginning of life, a new life, a new start, and the fetal stage of growth and development in species other than birds too.

How and when to use it

Eggs and nests have been popular elements in English idioms. And this emoji is the perfect choice when it comes to articulating those idioms online.
Some examples supporting this use-case are - "You'd not want to put all your eggs in one basket. 🪺" or "That's still a possibility, man. Don't count your chickens before they hatch! They're all still eggs 🪺".
A bunch of unhatched eggs represents life in the making; the earliest stages of growth. If you're talking about such initial and potentially vulnerable stages of anything, you can use this emoji.
For instance, "It's a new project. Not very strong yet 🪺" or "The foundation is not strong yet 🪺. Every relationship takes time to build a strong base".
You can use this emoji while referring to a bird family. Or any family that recently had babies or began the cycle.
