A bird nest with an egg can be found while woodcutting most types of trees and several other activities. Bird nests contain one of a red, blue, or green bird's egg, and also provide an empty nest. The chance of getting a bird nest from a tree is 1/256 each time you would normally get a log, regardless of the type of tree. If a nest appears while a player is cutting a tree, a chirping sound will usually be heard, and the player will get a message in the chat box stating, "A bird's nest falls out of the tree." The nest is dropped on the ground and will despawn after 2 minutes if not picked up. Redwood trees do not drop egg nests, and instead only drop clue nests.

Birds' eggs can be offered to the shrine in the Woodcutting Guild to receive 100 Prayer experience and a seed nest, or instead, rarely, a piece of the evil chicken outfit.

When woodcutting, a roll is done to determine the type of nest the player will receive. The table contains 100 slots: 3/100 egg nest (one for each colour), 32/100 ring nest, 65/100 seed nest. When wearing a strung rabbit foot, five seed slots are removed, making the chances 3/95 for bird's egg, 32/95 for a ring, and 60/95 for seeds.[1] The twitcher's gloves has similar effects to the strung rabbit foot and can increase the chance of receiving a type of nest (clue, egg, or seed) by 20%.[2]

During bird house trapping, up to 10 nest rolls are performed with a chance of getting a bird nest. For successful rolls, the chance is 3/100 for an egg nest. Wearing a strung rabbit foot removes 5 empty nest slots, making the chance for an egg nest 3/95.

Egg nests are also rewarded from Managing Miscellania when subjects are tasked with collecting maple, teak or mahogany logs.

Egg nests are also rewarded from Forestry. One is dropped on the ground after completing a Friendly Ent event.
