How do I move the Bird's Nest back to its place??

My gardener moved a bird's nest when they were cutting down some wisteria. The birds are looking for their nest. I want to move it back to its place but am afraid to touch it. Is there a proper manner in which I can move it back for them?

its fine to pick it up and move it back. Birds actually have a very poor sense of smell.
Reply:use gloves to carry it carefully.
Reply:Just pick it up and put it exactly where it was, if you know. I think the thing about the scent is more of a myth than anything, and nothings going to get any better if it isnt in the tree, so i guess you might as well take the chance.
Reply:Just pick it up carefully and place it gently back as close to its original position as possible. Get it as secure as possible, so that the first gust of wind does not knock it down. Don't worry about leaving your scent on the nest - it is an old wives tale that a bird will not accept a nest or eggs or babies that have been touched.
Reply:If you want to try, then pick the nest up with 'cloth gloves' on that won't let your 'human scent' get onto the nest ... and put it back in 'exactly the same place' if possible. The birds may be 'looking' for their nest, but it is 'highly unlikely' they'll use it again ... even if there were eggs in it when your gardener moved it ... and ESPECIALLY since it's not 'hidden' any more because of the 'pruning' your gardener did.
