Terrible Home & Life Habits That Are Harming The Wildlife Around You

9.Disrupting Nesting Sites

If you see a nest, leave it! Disturbing or removing natural nesting sites can harm bird and insect populations. Be mindful of nesting seasons, avoid unnecessary disturbances, and provide birdhouses to compensate for lost nesting sites. Not only that but trying to remove the nest may expose you to diseases like harmful parasites and pathogens.

If you disrupt a nest with baby birds inside, the mother might smell human interference and abandon the nest, thus abandoning her babies. Worst case scenario, the mother bird might attack you. Many birds are also protected under the law, so it might be illegal for you to move the nest (Skedaddle Wildlife).
