Ever Wonder….
why it is……
when someone does something *stupid!*….
they are referred to as a “bird-brain”?
Yes, in the few short days we were away, a Junco laid a clutch of eggs in my FUCHSIA!!!!! It seems every year, these birds insist on *trying* to make nests in my plants. I have to actively shoo them away so they won’t nest in the hanging pots. This Fuchsia has finally gotten tons of blooms on it and I really need to contact someone who knows how to handle this.
When I had birds before, I know the birds needed to have water nearby to keep the eggs moistened in the nest. However, I certainly don’t want to drown any chicks once they hatch out. What a stupid dilemma. Guess I should have placed a netting over the plant while we were away….

I hope you can find a solution!! I haven’t a clue as to what to advise….I would think if you tried to move them that the mother would abandon them…
What a lovely photo of the nest. One bird has attempted to make a nest in our humble plumeria tree in our balcony (we live in an apartment building). My mom is so worried the eggs might fall into the cement flooring!
I’m just amazed you have the nest so close – I hope you find someone who kows what to do! The nest and eggs look so small and delicate.
