empty nest
empty nest meaning
An empty bird's nest, added in Emoji 14. 0. It represents the nest itself and, unmistakably, empty-nest syndrome — the feeling parents have when children leave home. It also carries a sense of absence, of something that was there and is not any more. Its companion, the nest with eggs, makes the contrast explicit.
