This may sound very silly, but i'll ask it anyway. birds are making a nest in wreath on my front door??

about a month ago, birds were making a nest in wreath on my front door, so i brought it inside as it isn't a good place for a birds nest with our family traffic going in and out and birds flying around After waiting for several weeks, i put the wreath back on door and today i noticed a beautiful little nest built so well and now don't know what to do. do you think i should put the wreath someplace safe so they can have their nest in it?? thank you - silly question i know.

leave it alone, and use another door if you can
Reply:If you move it, they won't use it.
Reply:yeah I'd put it some where safe, but it's really up to you if you wanna leave the nest inside your wreath or not
Reply:It's iffy that the birds will want to live if you move the wreathe. Is there any way you can redirect traffic through another door while the birds hatch the brood? Otherwise, maybe just move it over a few feet so there's a better chance the birds'll find it.
Reply:This happened to me a few years ago. If you can move it without touching with your hands(use gloves) and certainly do not touch the nest, move it where it is still close to the door. I wired it to the porch light. It was great because when they laid their eggs I was able to show my son. Everyday would check to see if they hatched and it was very exciting for him. After they abandoned the nest at the end of the season I gave it to a friend who sterilizes and uses them for craft projects.
Reply:thats a good sign ,yes keep it safe
Reply:Have everyone come in another door and let the birdies grow up. It wont take long
Reply:LOL its not silly, my mom has the same problem. She always has a nest of birds on her wreath on her front porch. They were trying to make one in the one she has now but she pulled all the grass and stuff they started bringing up. It is a pain cause every time we would go over the momma bird would fly out and scare us half to death. You could move it somewhere else or just put it up. They will find somewhere else to go.
Reply:If there's a good place outside near the door that's not actually on the door, that would be good. If not, take the wreath back in right away before they lay eggs in the nest.
Reply:awww that's so sweet, yes I think you should put the wreath somewhere so the birds can have thier nest. That's wonderful to see nature at work. Take care. Let us know if any eggs develop please.
Reply:no!! let it there they might not know where to find it if you move it!!
Reply:That is very dear. I think the birds really, really want to nest in your wreath so yes, put to the side, or close by somewhere


safe.
Reply:ummm yes.
Reply:Yes, If the birdie's really like that spot , why not give it to them ? Just hang the wreath where it won't be disturbed and i'm sure it would be fun to watch them also.





Aww! how sweet that is too .
Reply:You have about three choices.





1. You and your family quit using that door until the eggs


and the birds are gone. Best for the birds.





2. Move the wreath and the nest. Might or might not be


acceptable to the birds. If you do decide to move it,


don't move it very far and wear gloves while moving it


to keep the human scent off of it as much as possible.


Middle of the road approach that might work out OK.





3. Toss the nest and bring the wreath inside. The birds will


go build another nest somewhere else.
Reply:If you can't put the wreath on a safe wall on the porch..move it to a tree in your front yard so you can watch the family develope.


AND THANK YOU FOR DONATING YOUR WREATH.
