| Although many birds are fiercely territorial, they are typically very sensitive when nesting. If they feel their nest has been disturbed, they often abandon it altogether even if the female has already laid her eggs. |

Lorenzo: “My dad accidentally disturbed a nest when he was cleaning the roof. So there’s a good chance it may now be abandoned.”
Katarina: “There’s an abandoned nest in the pomegranate tree in our garden. That must have been disturbed too.”
