I have a zebra finch that laid an egg. Two days later at 12 midnight I was refilling the food pot and the finch left the nest when it saw me. It never returned until 5 in the morning. Is there a problem?

Eggs can remain fertile for a week. The birds will sit on the eggs when all have been laid. Once all are laid, they should be sitting on the eggs most of the time. If they are unattended for more than 30 minutes, that is not a good sign. If there is another nest, you can try putting the abandoned eggs in there.
Since it returned there is no problem
most of the time when female finches lay eggs they, they dont like when u stare at their eggs alot, so sometimes when they notice you are staring at their eggs alot they would stop caring for their eggs, so once they lay eggs try to not pay attention t them
