Wren Nesting in Nostril

One of our wren babies

We have a bird house hanging from our back deck. It is the face of, I would say troll with large nostril openings.

It has been entertaining watching mom and dad wren, and then 5 children fly in and out of a nose.

I wondered though that after the babies flew the coop, within 2 days, mom and dad returned to the birdhouse to begin, I assume a new family.

Do they really start over that fast?

I would question it was the same pair, however, I cleaned the house out and moved it to another position, putting a lantern where the house had been.

They first kept trying to get into the lantern, making lots of noises showing their frustration that it had moved, and quite annoyed that I had emptied their home and have now decided to start again and are carrying more sticks and starting over.

Is this normal?
