I am reading Academy Street by Irish writer Mary Costello.
The mother picked up an egg from incubator, held it up to the window-light to check birdie. As she did not see it, she said to her daughter:
"No birdie here, sweetheart, no birdie here. This one’s a
glugger."
I tried to find meaning of 'glugger'. In the below link they say it is a
glug:

Anyone please help me out.
