Description

As the region becomes more lush, the creatures of the desert are being forced into increasingly confined spaces.

A particularly distressing result is the impending extinction of the local swoops. Predators feast on the birds and their eggs when they take nest.

I have acquired some swoop eggs from Tanaris and coated them with an irresistible pheromone. Place one in each nest you find, then protect it until a swoop comes to carry it off.

You will be doing a service to the balance of this land.

Once you place the egg in one of the nests, you will have to fight off 2 to 4 non-elite mobs that spawn one at a time and run towards the egg, attempting to destroy it. (It should be noted that the regular mobs that roam the area will also start attacking the egg if they happen to wander close enough to "aggro" it). Each spawned mob will be either a Famished Bonepaw hyena or a Snapjaw Basilisk. Once you've fought off the mobs, a Defiant Swoop will appear and carry off the egg.

Takes a while for this quest to register each egg. You have to wait for 3 waves of 1 mob each to try and steal the egg and there's a healthy gap between each wave. After this, a swoop will come and take the egg. This will register the egg watched and you need to do it 3 times.
