What should you do with a bird nest with eggs on your front door?

Answer 1

hi.

Not to dictate or anything, I would be inclined to leave well alone, its possible both parents are out hunting. We mean well but can do more harm through lack of knowledge.

If the birds have been hunted by a cat or something then its unlikely to be both of them, if it is, then the eggs will most likely be to cold to survive, if we try to keep them warm ourselves, chances are we will have the temp wrong , which again means there is no survival of the eggs.

If the eggs survived then you should call the wild life people. It is illegal to keep wild birds but the best thing to do is to just leave it alone.

I know its awful, but sadly sometimes we just gotta let nature run its course, the only other thing is if there is a bird sanctuary or something like it that can advice you, good luck, i hope it turns out for the best!!

Answer 2

You should look for a nest nearby. Chances are that if you find a nest the eggs will be from the nest. if there is no nest, just put it somewhere high like on a thick tree branch so foxes or racoons won't eat them. DO NOT TAKE THEM HOME. call an animal rehabitation center if they are there for more than several days.

Answer 3

If the nest is in a wreath, you probably have Carolina Wrens nesting. Leave them alone. Let them hatch, grow up and leave the nest, then take the nest out and take your wreath off the door.

It will take about 2 weeks for the eggs to hatch, and another 2 weeks for the chicks to fly away. Use a different door until then.

If you know how to handle bird nests then probably you could keep it in a garden. Else, get to contact authorities who handle such bird situations. DO NOT ACT WITHOUT KNOWING.

Answer 4

leave it alone because if you do take it and then that was someone else and they find you with it you will get in trouble therefore you should not take it
