House Finch - Another female sabotages nest

At 9 min 30 sec you can see the two females fighting over the nest. The new female ends up winning and evicting all the chicks from the nest. I believe most of the chicks survived since they were already close to fledging. They crash landed in the nearby bushes and tall grass. The previous parents continued feeding them for several days. The new pair rebuilt the nest and are currently raising 7 chicks.
