Meghan once starred on Real Housewives of Orange County, but she also gained fame from her months-long marriage to President Joe Biden’s nephew, Cuff Biden Owens. Additionally, she’s had legal and custody issues with her ex-husband (and retired baseball player) Jim Edmonds.
In a video shared by @bravo_boo on Instagram, Meghan addressed the bird’s nest on her wreath.
“I ended up taking my wreath down and I kept it down all day in hopes that like some sort of animal would come eat the eggs,” said Meghan, pointing the camera at the bird’s nest on the wreath, now on the ground. “But no dice.”
“But like don’t you think that looks like a good idea?” she asked. “Like somebody could eat those eggs. I don’t want to touch them. I don’t want to be like a bad bird hater or something, but I don’t want them.”
She then asked her followers if anyone wanted a “bird’s nest with some eggs in them” for a “science project.”
“Cause I don’t,” she said.
She later wrote an update: “No wild animal has come to eat the eggs. Maybe tonight will bring better luck, I’m not doing another birds nest.”
Fans shared their reactions in the comments.
“What is she teaching her children about love, kindness & respect all animals and humans,” wrote one user.
“Woah wtf. This bothers me more than Carl& Lindsey and Scandoval combined,” said another.
“Isn’t this illegal?” speculated a different fan. “’The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) also makes it illegal to disturb or destroy any active bird nest, eggs, or young without a permit. This law applies to most native bird species that are not endangered or threatened.’”
“Horrible person!” wrote one person.
“Who wouldn’t immediately be thinking. Let’s set up an outdoor camera and watch them hatch. Totally missed an awesome memory for her kids,” said another.
“Most people are thrilled to find a birds nest and watch their evolution. What’s wrong with this lady and she posts it for all to see,” wrote a different user.
