We are having electrical problems in our home and less than a 3 days ago it was just and old breaker box. Now a bird has made a nest on top of it and the electrician is due tomorrow! We got close to it and the bird doesn’t move and I fear she’s laying eggs or already has. How and where could we move the nest if the breaker box needs replacing (which it probably does)? There are lots of cats in the neighborhood and we don’t have trees in our yard.
It’s impossible to leave the bird’s nest there. Our electrical problem is a major fire hazard and if it’s not in the breaker box, we’ll leave the nest alone, but diagnostics so far say it IS the breaker box so either the nest gets destroyed or we try to move it responsibly.
maybe put it on top of your garage door opener?

I’m sorry to say it but you should not move the nest or interfere with it in any way. If she did not move she is sitting on her eggs. If you move the nest or disturb her she will abandon them, leaving them to die or be eaten by other birds, e.g. magpies or crows.Can you possibly postpone the electrician until the young have flown? A tall order I know, if you’re experiencing problems so it’s up to you really.

first find out if there are eggs yet, if so, be careful and move the nest to a high place where the mom can see it. then leave it alone for a while. keep an eye out and see if mom goes back to the nest.
