What can I do to move a birds nest w/out mom abandoning eggs?
We're expecting a tropical storm tonight and a pigeon made a nest several weeks ago in one of the hanging baskets in my front porch. If I don't move the basket to a safer place the storm will destroy it. How can I move nest to a safer place without mom abandoning it???
If you move it but keep it as close as possible to the original location, the parent should still be able to find it and continue to care for it. If there is somewhere a little more protected close by, you can move it. Do not listen to the person telling you the bird will abandon due to your scent..absolutely untrue..just an old wives tale that too many people still believe and don't bother to research. Most birds have a poorly developed sense of smell and will have no clue you touched their nest or eggs. It is true that a mammalian predator can pick up on your scent, but not birds.
