Once the nest is empty, you can safely remove it. Any eggs will have hatched and the birds have left. The adults are all that remain and they can move to a new location. You will not cause any harm to them at that point.

At this time of the year it is likely that eggs or baby birds are in the nest. Check to be sure it is empty then get rid of it and block the area where they built it, if possible.

Leave the poor birds quiet. When they grow up, they'll fly away, so you can remove the empty nest, if they enjoyed your back patio, for sure they will be back.

If you see the birds building it, remove it before they lay eggs. You may have to repeat this.
Otherwise, remove it as soon as the babies are fledged: out of the nest.
Keep watch in case they start building again, and remove it as soon as they start work on it. They'll build somewhere else then.
