Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do with bird eggs when left behind. Nature has a way of taking care of itself by not allowing the weak to reproduce. In other words there may have been a reason the mother left the eggs, like there was no sign of life in them. The only time it may be good to interfere with baby birds is when they are too young to fly and they have been blown out of their nest and you are unable to find the nest they came from. Don't worry about handling any kind of wild babies and putting them back into a nest - this will not cause the mother to stop taking care of them - that is an "old wives' tale". If you do find some baby birds (or any other wild baby animal), it is best to find someone locally who takes in wildlife for rehabilitation into the wild, they know how to raise the young so they can be put back in the wild and survive normally. You can usually find someone through your local veterinarian or humane society. If you are interested in learning how to do it yourself, learn from a person currently doing it or study plenty of reading material on it first - before you get in the situation - so you will be prepared. GOOD LUCK
