There's a lot of bird species where the male tries to impress the female by making multiple nests and letting her pick the best one. If it works and she chooses one, you will be able to tell because she will build an inner soft lining out of feathers and other materials to lay eggs in.
It's also a good plan to build multiple nests so that egg eating predators like squirrels waste their time on empty nests.
The nests aren't usually in a row like that tho, that's super funny.

You can actually see the progression! This is so cool. Hope you don’t need your ladder anytime soon 🤣
