Hello! And question re: nest (1 Viewer)

[sandstone29]

Hello! I'm brand new here, so please forgive me if this has been asked/addressed before.
I have a dark eyed junco who has nested in one of my hanging planters on my patio. I'm very respectful around it, especially when she is in the nest. She has 3 little babies, their eyes aren't open yet (I did not touch the nest, just quickly placed my phone over it and took the pic. And took her pic from a few feet away, this is zoomed in)

this was taken yesterday, how old are they?

Thank you!

Welcome to Birdforum. It’s best not to get close to a nest and not to take photos as doing so can cause the nest to be abandoned.

You need to re-read my post.
I'm looking for a respectful answer, thanks

The answer you got from Kits was respectful. Just stay away from the nest before you disturb it. What does it matter how old they are? Certainly young enough to die when abandoned.

Ok, y'all are assholes. I'm out.

Maybe a good idea to ban photos of nests on this forum?
