The eggs and nest are still here but I don't think it will ever hatch. Another nest in the palm tree in front of my house got blown down but it was empty.

The same happened to me a couple of weeks ago in one of my garden plants behind the house. The little birdies have already hatched and abandoned the nest now, so just leave it like this and enjoy the visitors. They will be absulotely fine without any interventions :)<br /><br />Salam from Lumut,<br />Nadinenadine*https://www.blogger.com/profile/01720793798499568170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-31015708309865493372011-05-11T06:55:12.480+08:002011-05-11T06:55:12.480+08:00You have created such an inviting place for nature...You have created such an inviting place for nature and I can understand why they would want to nest in your garden.

I have birds regularly nesting on my tall palm trees and kitchen roof but this one is on my potted plant placed in the verandah just next to my sliding door on the side entrance. It never happened before, hence I'm quite nervous.<br /><br />One, thank you for the link. <br /><br />MKG, I like your idea of furnishing the empty bamboo birdhouse. <br /><br />FlowerLady, the Mummy Bird like to leave the nest during the day time and only come back in the evenings. Maybe she has errants to run. I have a feeling that Papa Bird is nearby among the trees in front of my house. <br /><br />Sekkut, I'll hop over to your blog soonest possible.

I observe that mama will leave the nest during the day, perhaps to look for food. Just to let you know that:<br /><br />1. My hydrangea is only about 2 ft tall and it is growing in a flower pot about a foot above the ground.<br /><br />2. I have alerted all the house occupants to look out for any walk-in cats or reptiles and shoo them away.<br /><br />3.

I haven't seen the same architectural nest's design in our area, so not familiar who owns it. But the comments above are so good, just don't meddle with their affair, they totally know what they are doing, haha! So please do not go very near the nest esp when they see you, also dont touch it. Birds will leave and abandon nest, eggs, or youngs touched by human beings. So you can help them by just staying afar! And you will learn a lot by doing that!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-19177562946351874472011-05-10T11:07:56.263+08:002011-05-10T11:07:56.263+08:00Just wait and watch and wonder... and hope the nei...Just wait and watch and wonder... and hope the neighbor's cat doesn't come by.Carolyn ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/05722229442110193733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-32088720285035527112011-05-10T10:47:15.563+08:002011-05-10T10:47:15.563+08:00The Chinese believe it is good luck if a bird make...The Chinese believe it is good luck if a bird makes a nest in your home!
