Working it out.
So far you are doing a great job of working it out. Another question you might ask is whether or not the idea of burying eggs that hatch and the hatchlings then need to dig their way out is that unusual? Are there other such examples?
Think sea turtles.

Re: No, No Martin
Scientists should also make an experiment what the birds would do having no possibilities to burrow their eggs into sand. Would they hatch them or would they leave their eggs on the ground and would not care about them?
Other than the somewhat stupid suggestion that we increase the pressure on an already endangered species, what would that show?
I can tell you. It would show evolution in action. Those traits that successfully reproduced in that environment would gradually come to dominate the population. Those that did not would die out or move.
Plain old TOE stuff Martin.
