No! Of course not! Once you touch a birds nest to take one egg, your smell is all over. This might cause the mother to abandon the nest. Then, when the other eggs hatch, there will be no food source and they will all end up dying.

Depends on what's going on with the birds. If they have eggs or babies, the reason is obvious. If no eggs/babies, some birds like to "hide out" and/or enjoy the comfort and security of enclosed places like a nesting box.


What happens to hatched bird egg shell?

It decomposes or is eaten by other birds or insects. It contains useful minerals. Egg shells are very nutritious for plants. They decay and return minerals to the soil. Generally, the parent birds will push the shells out of their nest onto the ground. If the bird is one that nests on the ground, they just move away from the shells. The same thing happens to reptile eggs - snakes, turtles, alligators, etc. will lay their eggs in the ground.
