Should a bluebird house which is apparently abandoned with eggs in the nest be taken care of?

It is recommended that you let nature take its course and avoid touching the nest or eggs. Here's why:

Natural Selection: In the wild, there are natural processes such as predation, weather conditions, and competition for resources that can affect the survival of nests and eggs. Removing eggs from the nest can interfere with these natural processes and disrupt the ecosystem.

Parental Behavior: Even if the adult birds are not visible, they may be taking turns incubating the eggs or searching for food. Removing the eggs can cause distress to the parents and disrupt their natural caregiving behaviors.

Legal Implications: In many regions, it is illegal to disturb or remove nests and eggs of wild birds, including bluebirds. Check the local regulations and wildlife laws in your area before taking any action.

If you are concerned about the abandonment of the nest, it is best to observe it from a distance. If the eggs remain unhatched after several days, and you are certain that the nest has been abandoned, you can carefully remove the eggs and dispose of them properly. However, it is important to prioritize the preservation of the natural environment and allow natural processes to take their course whenever possible.
