Your finch will lay eggs in a nest that has been lined with something, feathers, fuzz, nesting materials. The adults will take turns sitting on the eggs. When they leave the nest they may pull a little of the nesting material over the eggs or they may leave them exposed on the top, it is really up to them. And as long as they do not leave the nest for more than a few minutes at a time the eggs will be fine.
