bird buddies

[send-more-cops.livejournal.com]

i'm wondering if anyone has some advice for me. i've been lazy and haven't removed the air conditioner out of one of the rooms in the house. i've often noticed birds bouncing around and generally hanging out around the
a/c.
the other day i noticed one of them crawl out from under (where the a/c hangs over the window frame) with a string in his mouth. F, they're building a nest.

i need to take that a/c out but i have this mental image of the little birds on the other side of the window with really big eyes and one little tear.

will they be able to rebuild? any ideas?

Native or non-native species?

What kind of birds are they? I'd be a little leery about disturbing chickadees or finches.

But if they're the ubiquitous House Sparrow ("mice with wings"), I wouldn't worry.
