There was an egg in it can I just put the whole nest and egg in a tree? Should I attempt to hatch it or just let it get cold?

This nest was actually inside of the porch light on the bulb I moved it because I was afraid it would catch fire the light kept flickering off and on. I didn't know there were eggs in it until I moved it (i am short)

first of all you should never mess with a birds nest.you decrese the chicks survival by a lot. put them back where you found the nest at on the porch light.

You can remove the nest when the baby birds have safely left it. Why would you want someone to come an remove it. you can remove it yourself when the birds are gone. Just a reminder that it is illegal to disturb, or destroy any active nest (one that has eggs or chicks in it) of all wild native birds. Just wait it out and you will have your porch light back.

The mother will not help a baby bird once a human touches it. If you want to try and save it, then place warm bottles of water under a blanket and place the egg on top. Then cover the egg so the heat will stay. I don't know how to tell the age of the egg but keep the water bottles changes every 4 to 6 hours. Call your local vet to get information on the kind of bird and the chances it has of living.

If you move the nest somewhere else, the mother will not recognize it as her nest and will not return. If you are wanting the egg to hatch, the only chance is to return it to where you found it and hope for the best.

You will have very little success hatching it - the incubation is hard.
If you put the nest in the nearby tree, the bird MAY get to it. I don't know. Try it! Can't do any harm.

You had the choice of leaving the nest
for 2 to 4 weeks and then there would have been another of Gods creatures.
You chose not to! It sounds harsh, but then the mother bird has experienced harsh.

If the momma bird is still coming around then I would leave it alone...otherwise she might abandon it because you are messing with it. Let it hatch before you remove it. Don't let a bird die because of it

once you touch it the bird will usually not come back. There is really no sense in trying to hatch it now.

if you moved the nest its probably too late to do anything, i bet the mom wont get back on it.
