Old eggs give off a smell like sulphur. Some clothing insecticides/deterrents like mothballs have this odour. Individual odortypes are genetically determined. Studies reveal that some women's body odor contains high levels of a sulfurous compound while men's often have high levels of fatty acid. Everyone has their own individual body odor, but some types of smells may reveal certain health problems. It is known that if your sweat smells like bleach, it may indicate kidney ailments, while fruity body odor often points to diabetic problems.

Like old paper
Walruses smell like old fish mixed with seawater, not that you'd want to smell one :)

Because old books smell like old friends and new books smell like new friends.
It is not recommended to handle sparrow bird eggs as it can lead to abandonment by the parents. Birds have a keen sense of smell and might reject eggs that have been touched by humans. It is best to observe from a distance and avoid touching the eggs to ensure the best chances of survival for the nestlings.
they just do
They might not hurt you, if they smell OK, but they will be unpleasantly tasteless if they're that old.
Copperheads This is, in fact, myth. Copperheads do not smell like cucmber and rattlesnakes do not smell like watermelon.

Hi i know. If you thouch they abandon them because the smell of humans. It is actually not true that birds will desert eggs or chicks if a human has touched them. The olfactory sensors in birds are very small. They do not have a strong sense of smell. The maternal or paternal drive is much stronger than the sense of smell. If it appears that a bird has abandoned the nest, it is due more to false association on our part rather than any touching of the eggs or fledlings. This belief of abandonment due to human smell is an old wives tale.
