Tips & Tricks for co-existing with Wildlife

Bird Nests

It is not humane to move a bird’s nest but you should let the young mature and leave the nest, after which the nest can be removed. If you do move the nest, you must remember to put it near by. The parent will be able to locate the nest and will not reject its young.

You should wear a pair of gloves to protect yourself from bugs and disease. Gently take the nest to a nearby location as high and protected as possible.

If the young have hatched you can move the nest within hearing distance of the original location.
