Just be careful when and how you move. Some birds will leave a nest in a twinkling. Others are very loyal, and most birds will stick to a nest after the young hatch. It's an evolutionary gamble thing: the probability of leaving viable offspring is better if you stick with one you have than if you abandoned it to bet on successfully raising young next year. Because the odds favor sticking to a youngster you have, the majority of birds will do that.
