Bloody birds have decided to make a nest for their new babies right under the eaves near my bedroom window
They love waking up early in the morning and demanding food
I havent the heart to remove the nest but when is the best time to do this without harming any of them |

Depends on what bird is nesting. Youneed to wait for young to leave nest |

As Nucs says.... Depends on the bird...
Most garden birds have a 14 day fledging cycle.... But some can be 30 day's.... And Swifts can be there for weeks.....
Once you know what the bird is.... Websearch it's fledging time.... |

i can totally relate to you. I have seagulls 30ft from my bedroom window & it will be another 3-4 weeks until their 2 chicks fly. Parents are aggressive too when you go out side.  |

At the end of my road I pass a house with an aggressive seagull which starts squawking as soon as I come into view. The seagull then swoops low overhead squawking until I'm 50yards down the road. Saw the chicks for the first time the other day.
Puts a smile on my face watching this bird's antics. |

"I think there are laws protecting nesting birds, so they can't be moved until the chick have 'flown the nest' 
N"
Yep it's against the law can face upto a £1000 fine. Just wait it out once the chicks have gone remove. Although we do enjoy having ours |

I dunno why the human race persists in finding every other species a bloody nuisance!
Why on earth would you even WANT to destroy a bird's nest
Folks shooting badgers - for our own convenience - vaccinate the cattle (we have technology n vaccine availability)
That awful mixymatosis we infected rabbits with some few decades ago.
The loss of 96 per cent of our meadows since WW11.
N last week pest control came to our local library for two 'hives' of bees in the chimney pots. The bumblebees they managed to smoke out n they merrily flew off but they couldn't access smoke to the honey bees so poisoned them!!!!!! grrrrrrr says I |

I have a birds nest on an old scooter in the shed, I'll leave it be until they have grown and flown.
I've put some protection on the shed for them so the cats can't get at them |

Put a bird-feeder as near as you can to the nest - they won't be as noisy if there's food close by, and put up a bird box further away for next season. Enjoy your feathered neighbours! We have a huge colony of sparrows in our vines - love hearing them settling down at night when it's "cheeping time" |
