How far away do I need to be to observe a nest?
These two very beautiful robins have laid a nest in the bush in front of my front door. I originally only checked twice- once to originally see if the nest was being used (it was fresh so yes!) and to see if there was eggs and if they’re okay.
The front door is obviously a high traffic area so Ive been trying to reduce my usage of it and not letting my dogs through the front door.
Anyways- all is well. They have two eggs so far and theyre plump and colorful, so I’m going to stop looking at them as I don’t want to disturb the robins anymore.
However of course I have curiosity so I was wondering if theres a safe distance to observe them? If not I simply won’t try to observe them, everything seems fine and I’m already trying to give them as much space as I can. I just don’t want them abandoning their nest especially due to anything I can help.
Sorry if this is weird or ignorant I know nothing about birds but I do love nature so if theres a safe way to go about it I’d really love that. If not then I’ll just let them do their thing and hope for the best!
