A unwelcomed visitor

Went to use the grill last night for the first BBQ of the season. Seems it was already in use.
A bird had built its nest there -- sheltered from all the elements and predators. A cozy spot filled with pine needles.
Every spring I tell my husband he can’t trim any bushes around our property until well after nesting season so we don’t disturb the birds. So when we opened the grill and saw the nest -- which filled the interior space of the rather large unit -- he just looked at me. Do I have to leave this one undisturbed too!!
There’s going to be one very upset bird today. They can have the trees, but not my grill.
