Blown Eggs
Posted on Thursday, November 13th, 2008 at 6:49 pmWhat do I do with bird nest/eggs in my hanging baskets? We are expecting a storm!!!?
We are expecting the high winds from a coastal storm brewing, and I have a nest w/ 2 bird eggs on my porch hanging plants. The parents are close by, but will they abandon the nest if the storm blows the baskets down? Or should I place the baskets on the floor til the storm passes? We get the nests every year in our hanging plants, and we always keep an eye on them, but we haven't had the risk of them blowing down til now.
My opinion is that I would take them down. If the storm blow them, the eggs will break anyway. Maybe put them in a large WEIGHTED box on the porch. The parents will find it, if they aren't hiding from the storm also. Then put it right back as soon as it is safe.
