Will a goldfinch abandon their nest after a raid by magpie?

Yes, goldfinches may abandon their nest after a raid by a magpie, especially if they perceive the area as unsafe or if their eggs or chicks have been disturbed or lost. The stress and threat posed by the attack can lead to the parents deciding to vacate the nest in search of a safer location to raise their young. However, it ultimately depends on the individual birds and the specific circumstances surrounding the raid.
