Bird Nest Maintenance

House Sparrows
I have a question about three bird's nests in our garden.
They where occupied during the summer by the lowly Sparrows, and my question is, do I clean out the summer nests now in the Fall?
Or shall I leave them so that the birds have a warm place of refuge during this coming winter?
I await your answer.
Many thanks,
L.F.
Well, Lionel, I'm not sure - I tend to leave bird nests where they are as I know the Robins come back the following year and use them again, but I'm not sure if Sparrows also do that. Perhaps one of our readers knows for sure
