A bird built a nest in the wreath on my door. What should I do?
I have left this wreath up since Christmas.. it was really starting to turn brown and dry out and I thought yesterday I would take it down. I went to pull it down and I noticed a bird has built a nest inside of it.
I grew up being told not to move nests and I do respect the bird and am glad he/she choose my home. However- the door swings inside and that means the birds will actually be INSIDE my house at times. Also, I have young children and I am concerned about a protective mother bird dive-bombing them!!
So... should I take it down? Should I move it? I can't see if there are eggs in it yet.

I would leave it. It's a good chance to teach your kids about nature as long as they are careful. Who knows where it might lead them? The birds will only be there for a few weeks and once the babies have left the nest you can take it down. At least next Christmas you'll know to take it down earlier!

There probably aren't eggs in there yet this early in the spring I would take it down. It doesn't take long for a bird to build a nest anyway.

Leave it up. The mother bird will be timid and harmless. It can also be a good learning experience for your children.

No leave it alone.....if it doesn't bother you. He will always come back there and if you move it, he won't know where to look for it. Don't touch it either.....if you do he may not come back to the nest.....your scent you know.
