We have had the wonderful experience of having a House Finch make her nest in our front door wreath against the glass of the door. We got to see her lay her eggs and the eggs hatch and now in a few days the nest will be empty. I haven't seen the parents in about a week, which being new to bird watching makes me concerned that the baby that is left is being cared for, however my question is once the baby is gone can we take the nest down since its causing quite a mess on our front door and the glass? I don't want to upset the adult birds at all or break any laws. Thanks for your help. Oh and is it normal for the parents to leave the babies after caring for them for a week? I would have thought that they would have stayed with them for the duration of their time in the nest.
Thanks again,

Oh and I attached a picture of my baby House Finch that I will miss so much since in a few days it will be time to fly away. :flyaway:
