This little bird is nesting in my potting cabinet. Should I move all the other stuff out and leave her be?

That’s hers for the next month or so
Leave it alone, it may abandon the nest if there’s too much disturbance. They’ll be out soon enough.
Just leave her be! Don’t disturb the nest 🪹! She’ll have her babies there.
We had a bird build one on our front door wreath while we were away on vacation.
All the opening and closing of the door was disturbing her, so we carefully moved the whole wreath to the wall beside the door and she had her babies there 💙
It’s worth it to just leave it all alone and enjoy your new neighbors for awhile
Easy bet is that it’s a mourning dove or Carolina wren, my guess is wren based on that nesting material. They’ll be there a month or two, but the bonus is watching the babies.
Keep all cats and dogs away from the area, or fence it off somehow. If you don’t your patience and anticipation for however many weeks will end in tragedy.
