How far can you move a killdeer nest?
You're not supposed to move it at all and there are laws against disturbing a nest. If you move it even a little, you risk the bird abandoning the nest. It's usually best to "work around" the situation by placing cones or barriers around the nest until it hatches and the family leaves. However, there have been cases where the nest had to be moved or it would be definitely destroyed. In these cases, the nest was moved, very carefully and gradually only as far as it was necessary to keep it out of danger. All nesting rocks and other material were also moved and placed exactly as the parent had set them up. Also, lighting conditions were similar. If there are chicks in or near the nest, you can't move it no matter what the circumstance is.
Can a dove's nest be moved?
Doves make only patches of sticks, and it is not likely that a nest could be moved and then set securely anywhere else. A bird's nest is often fragile itself, and placed so that there is no way to gather enough of it to keep it together, nor to anchor it again. The bird also knows how to arrive at and leave the nest even in the dark, so if it is moved, it is lost. If a nest has nestlings in it, and can be gathered and placed without wrecking it, the parents can find their babies by sound if not too far from the original location and it is still in a similar and safe place to feed and protect the babies. Many species that lose a nest, to storms or predators, can replace it, with eggs, within the season. In the US, Mourning Doves breed continually anyway, and other species such as bluebirds often have more than one brood. Some species get one chance, win or lose. Except for endangered species, and widespread problems, one nest does not affect a population.
What do you do if you find a newborn baby bird with no hair?
Just return it to its nest if you can find it nearby. If not, bring it home and feed it bread with milk or earthworms if you can find any. Set the bird free if any bird comes pecking on the window (it may well be the baby bird's mother).
How do you get rid of starlings?
You must wait until autumn (after the birds have left the nest) because if you interfear with an inhabited bird nest you will be breaking the law. You then need to clean out where the nest was and seal the hole or net the roof so that the birds can not get back in to nest next year.

Has anyone made a bird nest out of leaves?
They do if thats whats in the eaves of my summer house, could be a doormouse but I've yet to sight it. A Robin maybe. It has built a tube tucked behind a set of shears I wedged there last summer. I know something is there because it fixes anything I pull away.
Bird's nest on my hanging basket?
Lucky you. You can now watch the miracle that is new life, as the birds lay eggs, incubate them, and feed the chicks. If you are so inclined, set up a web-cam, and let others share this rarely seen miracle.
Will a rooster set on a hen egg?
A broody hen will start to collect eggs from all over the chicken coop. She will stay in the nest during the day when the other birds are out scratching around and she will get nasty. Putting your hand into the nest with a broody hen risks your hands to some abuse by the protective mother bird as she will peck your hand.
