Can I move this nest?
A pair of Carolina wrens made a nest in this bucket on my front porch. I love them, they are my favorite songbirds! … But the bucket is on my potting bench, which I will be using shortly as gardening season begins.
Would it be okay to move the bucket? I’d like to hang it from the front of my house, where I currently have a cast iron bell hanging — it would be a nice, safe place for a nest.
Would the wrens find the nest in its new location (about five feet away) or would this cost them their home and eggs?
