This might just be a very good test. I like it. I'll wait for a little more input, but I have stuff laying around to do this.I couldn't tell you that, but you could just set up a little shelf for the nest, and move it 8" up or so to make it easy to find. I was always told that the momma bird rejecting the chicks was a myth (specifically about robins, if that helps). Of course, the big moustached ascot wearing crowd may wonder why you've ruined such perfectly good barnwood with fresh lumber.
Great. Should be good for the local ecology.This might just be a very good test. I like it. I'll wait for a little more input, but I have stuff laying around to do this.
They're just helping aerate the soil for you.I have no desire to harm the birds. As far as I know, the only downside to robins is pooping where I don't want and eating my nightcrawlers?
Just move it to the lower section of the hose reel, should be close enough to find easyThis might just be a very good test. I like it. I'll wait for a little more input, but I have stuff laying around to do this.
I had the exact same thing last year. When first noticed the this year, thought that I was sure I moved the nest? Didn't use the soaker hose last year.
The robin flying off whenever I get close (a few times a day) is annoying. Its worse when the baby's outgrow the nest.

Moma will find the nest. We have moved more than a couple over the years and yes Moma finds them and takes care.This might just be a very good test. I like it. I'll wait for a little more input, but I have stuff laying around to do this.

They put on quite a show for sure. The young are hilarious when their just cotton balls on long legs.Easier fix than mine, Ive got a Killdeer that has laid its eggs in my narrow driveway, I just put a flag by the nest so people won't drive over them.
They are fun to watch. If you get close, the female will fluff up and try to intimidate you while the male will act like he is injured about 30 feet away to try to get the predator to chase him.
Move it over, not up. If it is above the hose, momma will poop all over the hoseI couldn't tell you that, but you could just set up a little shelf for the nest, and move it 8" up or so to make it easy to find.
