Dove nest

A dove flew into my window a month back. This may be the same one. She has been sitting her nest and today I noticed two little heads;one on each side of the nest. The one closest to the wall is almost camafloged by the nest.

We moved and I miss swallows in the barn with their babies.

It must be the season! We have a nest on our patio at home in a hanging flower pot. I'll try to get a picture.

Thanks for sharing John and also thanks for the continued updates regarding Lorraine.

Dove pie, nothing like it. Cute little suckers aren't they.

We have a brass eagle mounted over our garage door with a nest of wrens in it. We can see four little heads sticking out of the nest right now and a pile of poop on the driveway under it.

John-- The idea of the Monte is to move with it not let it sit so birds can build nests and have babies!!

A bird tried to build a nest in the hollow part of my pin box while on my last trip. Then I got home and the Montana sit a couple of weeks. When I went to hook up again I pulled the brake/light wire out of the pin box and a darn bird zoomed out and hit me in the chest. It was quite a shock!

I’ve heard that doves like to build close to where people are. Maybe because their smart enough to know that other birds won’t get as close and won’t bother them that way. Just hear say but it makes sense to me. Anyone else heard that?

I have amuch different opinion of the !#%& things. You might thing they are cute but I don't like the droppings on the camper so if possible ,they fly away. Have any ides on how to get rid of them. Shooting them is not possible because living in city.
