There are 4 huge bushes in front of my house that I want to chop down BUT

there are tons of birds living in these bushes.

What should I do? Do you think if I hang birdhouses from the tree they might move into them? How could I coax them?

I don't know Jul we are in the same situation. We have a row of bushes in front of the house the DH hates and one against the back yard fence and they have squirrels that use them as shetler I feel awful taking them up but we hate them

Could you replace with smaller bushes maybe?

How can I make them move into the birdhouse before I cut the bushes fown? I don't want to schop them down with the birdies in there... I have to do it before they start laying eggs also

Are they going to have enough time to build a new nest?
I am stressing over this so much!
Here is a pic.. they are huge.

Julz, what if you used a hedger and cut them smaller? Maybe into a small square like bush (does that make sense?) That way you will be able to see and the birds and squirrels will still have thier home.
