49. It's a Gold Finch nest
that some Cow Birds have laid their eggs in. Once the eggs are laid the Cow Birds are gone and their parenting is done. When the Cow Birds hatch they have the instinct to push the other birds out of the nest. The Finch never figures it out and runs herself ragged feeding the much larger birds.

This is her on the nest with no clue.

Regards, Mugu
