You can't touch the nest until such times as all the eggs have hatched and the chicks are fledged. Once that has happened parents a young will leave the nest a roost where ever they want to... but that won't be your magnolia tree!

so as mg says they will leave it. then remove the nest. next breeding season keep disturbing them as they are trying to build a nest and they will go else where.

Eyespybird Answer was....

They will only use the nest once so you are ok to do what you want to the tree when they have gone.

Once the chicks have fledged the birds will leave the nest for this year. During the day they will perch on overhead wire and a night will roost in a tree.
