    Mein Freund sagte: „Deine Pflanze gibt vier Vögeln Leben“ und jetzt bin ich alle sentimental über meine Vogelfamilie.

      just water it away from the nest with a bottle or something

    4. FuckkAlexx on

      U can still water and not harm the babies. We do at my job we water the plants beside the nest trying not to harm the eggs or nest plus they also get rained on at times so it won’t harm them non !

    5. StrangeQuark1221 on

      congrats on the new family lol, you should take a cutting of the plant to start somewhere else

      How cute
      If you really don’t want to water you could take cuttings

      Go ahead and water, they like the coverage the plant gives. Cooler & safer.

      I lost a boston fern like this in the spring. I just didn’t have the heart to drown them 🙁

      You should be able to water it a bit plus it could give the eggs more cover of protection

    14. okaycomputes on

      even a desert species of bird is fine with eggs getting wet. go for it!

    15. shes_your_lobster on

      They have bottom watering saucers that you hook on hanging plants- that way babies still get their shade protection!

      What do you think happens to all the nests out in the wild when it rains?? lol

      Check the federal migratory bird act before you go near the nest. It’s illegal to do a lot of things when a nest is found in the US.

      I have a house finch nest in my Boston fern right now and I just bottom water so the nest doesn’t get wet. Mama bird flies off when I come outside and comes back when I hang it back up.

      I hope you do water it. The foliage is a protectant for the nest.

      Please still water it! 🙂 We have had the mama and dad bird the past two summers (not this one and I am so sad) have babies in our hanging flower pots. We watered them as normal and absolutely no issue at all. They all had adorable successful fledglings.. It’s just like it’s raining! They will be better covered and protected if you don’t let the plant die.

      Actually, the year before the same mom and dad built a nest in our fake wreath that hangs against our glass patio door. So we could see everything going on. Then evil crows came by and destroyed the nest after I watched so many countless nights of mama sleeping over the eggs in the cold (it was spring and still frigid at night) and I was absolutely devastated. There was one living egg which mom abandoned, so I brought it in, as it was in the 40s some days. I bought an incubator and was able to keep it alive for a week when it passed away 🙁 I cried for what felt like weeks.

      I do believe I was blessed the next two years of getting to see their new families for trying to save the only living baby.

      I did not mean to type all of that!! It still just breaks my heart what happened to those eggs and I’ve never written it our anywhere.

      Dark-eyed juncos!!!! Wow they think your plant is vegetation on the ground! You can water that and they would like the contiued cover. They are ground nesting birds.

    24. Marigold_Dust on

      That’s an absolutely gorgeous nest though! Looks like a fairy princess nest! Any idea which type of bird eggs they are?

    25. Ill-Marionberry9177 on

      When the parents are away you could discretely and carefully try to cut enough to get a few nodes and propagate a new sentimental plant to keep 🙂

    26. MzDarkChocolate1 on

      The water will not kill the eggs just water on another side

    27. T4Tracy2 on

      As much as I love my plants, if a bird made a nest in it, I wouldn’t be upset either.

    28. mrapplewhite on

      Just had this happen to an orchid on the outside of my greenhouse. Don’t worry the birds dip pretty fast after the babies hatch maybe 6-10 days tops depending on the birds

    30. kubb_t on

      Please keep an eye out for bird mites. We had birds nest in a hanging fern on our front porch, needless to say it was covered in them and so was I.

    31. kkfluff on

      Could you water it by sticking a straw under the nest and into the dirt and water it slowly?

    33. Bath_Squatch on

      We just had a clutch of finches in a hanging fern. Water it! More coverage that way too.

    37. batmanandcheryl on

      My philodendran just had a Carolina Wren make a nest and have her babies! They only stayed for about 2 weeks after birth, so once the babes hatched, I left the plant alone, with no water but rain like twice. My plant is pretty hardy and actually thrives when I forget she exists, so once they left I put on gloves and cleaned out the nest. Hung her back up, and now, a month or so later, she’s doing great!

    38. AmazingFeast on

      U must give water to its roots / spray it carefully not to wet the birds

    39. KrimxonRath on

      Birds have survived millions of years building nests and living in nature… aka in the wind, sun… and **rain**.

      Water that plant??? Why kill their home?

    40. bcbump on

      The same thing happened to my hanging plant and I didn’t want to water it. Unfortunately the babies hatched and were immediately eaten by crows 😭. I suggest watering for safety.

    41. phlegmdawg on

      4 eggs! The most I’ve ever gotten is 2! You’re doing something right.

    43. HyenaStraight8737 on

      Mist it from the back, so your not blasting into the eggs themselves.

      So long as you keep the outside moist it’ll be fine.

      They need you to water it. It’ll die potentially before they finish using it. If it does die, it could impact the nest itself. They’ll also keep coming back if it’s a viable spot.

      Just mist them. They absorb water via the leaves etc to, but much slower/less. But it’s enough. It’s why they plant goes well in a rainforest even with no rain, the humidity creates enough water to keep it alive.

      Nests get wet. We just don’t wanna make it a kiddy pool of baby birds ya feel?

    45. RaneeGA on

      We had the same thing happen! Bought a lovely new Boston fern for the front porch, and a family of house wrens moved in. RIP Boston fern ☺️
