Cardinals may abandon a nest with eggs for several reasons, including disturbances from predators, human activity, or environmental factors like bad weather. If the nesting site becomes too unsafe or stressful, the parents might leave to protect themselves and their future reproductive opportunities. Additionally, if the eggs fail to develop properly or if the parents sense a lack of viability, they might choose to abandon the nest altogether.

Ultimately, it's part of their natural behavior to ensure the best chance of successful reproduction.

Will cardinals return to their nest after being touched?
Cardinals may abandon their nest if they are disturbed or touched by humans, as they can perceive it as a threat. However, many birds, including cardinals, have a limited sense of smell and may not recognize human scent as a danger. If the nest is not significantly disturbed and the adult birds feel safe, they may return to care for their young. It's best to minimize contact with wild nests to avoid stressing the birds.
