I have 5 eggs in my grill from. I haven't touched them, pretty much just leaving my grill alone. But how would some of you move the nest and eggs so the Robin comes back and takes care of its eggs, and I can use my grill?
Thanks,
Mike

If you choose to leave them there, they should be ready to leave the nest in a month & a half or so. You can hold out that long for some grilled meat, I bet!
If you can't, then remove them promptly. If the hen hasn't started to incubate (sit on the nest), the chicks haven't begun to develop. Robin population is high, so you wouldn't be destroying a nest full of endangered eggs. (Are you sure it's a Robin? Better make sure it isn't an Eastern Bluebird. They have blue eggs as well.)
If you're sure it's a Robin, don't feel bad about removing the nest & eggs. They can rebuild in a safer place & lay more eggs within a week. I raise finches & do this all the time. It's really no big deal.

Unfortunately you can't. If you even touch the nest, the Robin probably won't come back. If you moved it, the robin definitely would not come back.
Can you wait until the eggs have hatched and the birds can survive on their own?
You're a nice guy to care about the birds. Thanks!

LOL here's the same question from another person yesterday!
They moved the nest to a box next to the grill, and the mom came back.
If you plan to use the grill, though, move it far from the nest so you don't disturb the bird family.
That is, if you decide to do it that way.

if you move the nest the mother will not take care of them.....but you can find a wild rescue place in your area to take them i bet...than they will be fine and you can have your girl back.....wow im surprised that the bird made her nest so close to the ground....
