My bird’s nest fern has been turning brown on the edges. Anyone know why this could be happening?

I looked on the info page for Bird’s nest ferns and it gave some options to consider:  
• watering (too dry for a spell, or too wet)  
• Lime in water (often tap water is hard. You can use rainwater or distilled)  
• draft  
• over misting, or under  
It might take some trial and error.

It’s still beautiful. If you recently changed something involving one of those things (including being forced to turn a/c cooler) it might give you a lead

I would put it in a pot that retains moisture rather than wicking it like terracotta does, but up to you!

Mine is doing the same recently, and I’m going to test few theories. First will check the roots and repot it to soil with more drainage as I noticed mine is drying for too long
