Judi asked this question about The Crow Trap (Vera Stanhope, #1):
Can someone help me understand Vera's father's hobby of stealing raptors' eggs. It was stated that it funded his retirement. I don't see how if he kept them locked in a cabinet. Why?
u1818 I suppose you could say he sold some of them yet kept his favourites???

I don't know the context to the phrase so maybe when she was saying it "funded"…moreI suppose you could say he sold some of them yet kept his favourites???

I don't know the context to the phrase so maybe when she was saying it "funded" his retirement she meant it kept him busy??

Or maybe he stole eggs for other people if they paid him (clutching at straws)?(less)
