Can we move this new bird’s nest without hurting the bird?

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.

Bird feeder question about spilling and rat/mice??

I have lots of birds in the yard and want to feed them but when I put out a feeder, it spills and I get mice/rats that come around. (I live on a hill and so we have little field mice) but also sometimes a rat will come (gross). Does anyone know of a feeder that will not spill over? Something sturdy? Thanks!

Where do northeastern birds sleep during cold winter nights?

I’m concerned about the local birds that feed in my yard all winter long, such as cardinals, sparrows, bluejays, etc. During the day, they chirp and gather in the hedges of my yard, but in sub-zero temperatures they would freeze during the night just remaining in the hedges. I want to know where they sleep???
