We have a pair of blackbirds hopping around the lawn and chirping loudly at the cat. One of them is browner and therefore must be the lady. If she was going to lay some eggs, would we be able to see a bulge? How many do they lay at once?

Offer her a seat on the bus...
if she says thank you and sits down, pregnant.
if she cries, fat.

If she starts having a right go at you for being a sexist pig, politically correctly confused feminist.

How would she say that in tweeting language? She doesn't have many words at all, just chip chip chip chip chip endlessly whenever the cat is around.

Boys 😉 you're all so predictable and that's coming from a pregnant 'bird'

they do get fatter bellies...but I thought they'd have laid by now, but I could be wrong; I'm not native to the UK so not sure when they lay their eggs

No, not imo.

EDIT : The frantic chirping at a cat suggests that the eggs have been laid/hatched and the parents are panicking at the sight of a carnivore imo.

If they are attacking the cat, there is a good chance they have already laid and are defending their nest. I have no idea what the weather is like there but they would probably have young too rather than eggs.
