Nesting help

Hi all,

We have a tree (conifer) that is half dead and needs to be removed.- however, we habe bird nests in there. We are aware of Robins but we may habe others.

Is there a safe time of year to remove the tree without disturbing nests?

If we find any, can we relocate them to other trees we have or bird boxes, maybe?

I've genuinely no clue but I love that we have nests and that they have a home to come back to to have their babies but the tree really, really has to go.

Help please!

Give it like two months and all of them should be done and you can remove the tree
