How do you know when a birds nest has been abondoned?

Theres a birds nest on the wreath on my storm door and I think that the constant opening and closing of the door, and my dog barking has scard the birds off. How would I know if the birds abondoned it and what should I do with it? P.S. It's kind of a werid question. (:

Well, just keep an eye on it and keep a look out for birds. If it has eggs in it, then the mother should be around fairly often or the eggs would die. In that case, if the bird doesn't come back some time during the day, the nest is abandoned. It would be best to leave it there, but if you were afraid of the eggs going rotten, you could take the nest and put in on the ground somewhere where nature could take its course.





If they're aren't any eggs yet, then its likely the birds decided to find a more stable place to nest and you should just leave it there for a while an then take it down eventually. If there are babies, the parents should come back every few hours at least to feed them. If the parents dont come all day, you can take the babies and bring them to some place that can take care of them (dont try to take care of them yourself)
Reply:If no birds are there, no new material, and no eggs, they're most likely gone.
Reply:I'd say the birds have abandoned "nest!"
