I have discovered a robins nest in my tool box of all places!

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

it’s active too as the robin was waiting to come back to it when I was looking at it this morning.

I think i’ve put 2 and 2 together and realised what I’ve done, probably my fault tbh.. I’ve bough one of those bird feeders that has a cage around it and you can put fat balls and peanut butter in the little tub at the bottom of the garden because I have a 20ft hedge and it’s full of all sorts of birds at this time of year.

So shelter = easy food at bottom of garden = nest to access easy food = less chance of predetors = less stress = my tool box.

But I don’t know how birds think and I don’t know why it didnt nest in the hedge that is literally about 5 meters away.

But I never, ever thought I’d have one making a nest in my tool box at the side of the house. – I have put up shelves cause I’ve had it all done with plastic roof and guttering and stuff so it’s completely shielded from the weather outside. – I mean it’s still outside but I have no door and it’s just a small allyway.

I know it’s illegal to do anything to a nest, but is it illegal to just move it or get a professional to do it?

If not, I’ll just have to suck it up.. but I do use that area quite often as it’s nicer weather now.

I must be really lucky lol
