I have a dove that built her nest in my cactus. The cactus is growing into electrical lines and city has scheduled removal of the cactus. She has 3 babies and we don't want to lose them!! My first thought was to cut the entire branch so I would not have to touch the nest, but where she built the nest it is supported by 2 different branches making that idea impossible.
I have a hanging nest about 6 feet away in the shade of my shed. If I use gloves and scoop her nest into the hanging basket will she abandon her chicks?
Any advice would be so greatly appreciated.
