Found a purple finch nest in our blue spruce when you checked the nest for eggs you found eight eggs five were very small and solid light blue the other three were a pale green with brown spots?
I believe some species of birds steal others birds eggs and raise them as their own but I suggest you look up purple finches on the internet or a book and read about them laying eggs to be sure. I've never heard of birds stealing other eggs and brooding them but what I do know for sure is that the Brown Headed Cowbird does not make it's own nest and lays its eggs in other birds nests. The Cowbird is actually considered a parasite in that it's eggs will hatch first and dominate the nest. In some circumstances some of the intended hatchlings could starve to death or be killed by the young Cowbirds. Simply remove the brown spotted eggs.

Why should you never touch birds' eggs?
It is often said that if you touch a bird's eggs or nest or the nestlings, the mother bird will abandon the nest. But, this is really not the case. That myth has been told for a very long time but, if you are careful, and do not overly disturb the nest, you will not cause the nest to be abandoned if you replace a fallen nestling in the nest or help the birds in some other way. There are, however, other reasons not to touch wild bird eggs, nests, or the birds themselves and those are to protect you from bacterial or viral diseases that may be carried on the feathers of the birds or on the nest and egg shells. You should never touch a dead bird with bare hands and always wash your hands well with soap and water immediately after any contact with areas that may be contaminated by birds or their feces.
Do all birds live in nests and if not where do they?
Nests are simply used as nurseries. Birds do not stay in a nest once the babies are old enough to live on their own. Birds live in trees and bushes. Females only stay in a nest if there are eggs or little ones.
Where do birds in Antarctica nest?
