Board agrees to relocate robin nests from pool showers after chicks fledge
Summary
Board members found American robin nests inside the pool building and agreed to relocate them to nearby bushes after chicks leave, noting federal protections for migratory birds but stressing they will not kill the birds.
Staff reported American robin nests inside the boys' shower and another forming in the girls' shower; members discussed wildlife rules and humane relocation. One participant said they had looked up guidance and believed it is illegal to move the birds. Another replied bluntly, "I don't care," before the group agreed on relocating nests only after chicks are ready to leave to avoid harming wildlife.
The board emphasized they would not kill birds and noted local animal-control resources are available for relocation assistance. Members agreed to monitor the nests and to move them to nearby bushes when safe, rather than removing eggs or chicks prematurely.
