Early today one of the baby mourning doves (approximately 5 days old since it hatched) was sitting on one of my window ledges when it got spooked and flew off across the street. The mom and dad weren’t at the nest, so I thought they would go search for the baby when they got back. It’s been about 7 hours since the baby flew off and I haven’t seen it anywhere, and haven’t heard the mom or dad coo for it.
I realize there’s nothing I can do to find it, but I can’t help feeling upset if the baby is lost and can’t fend for itself yet. Any reassurances if the baby will come back/mom and dad be able to find it??
