"Robin's Nest Takes Priority Over New Truck: Federal Law Halts Purchase. A would-be buyer of a brand new pickup truck has hit a roadblock - literally. A robin's nest has been discovered on the vehicle, and under federal law, it's now off-limits until the nest is vacated. The law protects active nests, ensuring the safety and well-being of the robin family, and the buyer will have to wait patiently for the hatchlings to take flight before the deal can proceed. As environmental concerns continue to take center stage, this unusual situation highlights the unusual lengths to which laws will go to safeguard wildlife."
It’s against federal law to move or destroy an active robin’s nest, so the pickup's buyer has to wait until the hatchlings fly away.
