<p>This <em>may</em> appear a bit opinion-based. </p> <p>Birds take a while and a lot of effort to build a nest. Is it okay to take that pretty nest as a sample or a show-piece to put in a personal balcony or a garden? I don't know if they or the same kind of bird re-use it. Basically, I have seen birds abandoning the nest after they are done with it.</p> <p>For example, there is bird called the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baya_weaver" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Baya weaver</a>, which has a beautiful nest. See the pic below. I have seen plenty of them, haven't studied them at all.</p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kdWvG.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kdWvG.jpg" alt="Nest of a Baya Weaver bird"></a></p>
