She laid 4 eggs and seems to hardly ever leaves her nest so she is a good momma bird. But now after 8 days of not watering the plant it is beginning to wilt and die in the strong sunshine. I am afraid if I water the plant that she will abandon her nest and not come back. However if I let the plant die it will no longer provide adequate cover for her babies when they hatch next week and a crow will come and eat them. I have seen a crow raid a nest a few years ago and it was tough to watch. What should I do?
