While I was away last week a mourning dove built a nest on a wire rack in my pool house. There is one egg. I dont care if she’s there except I upset her when I’m there. I sit in my “hut” every night to document, watch TV and smoke a hooka. I moved over as far away as I could. She initially flew around and sat on egg but I think the smoke bothered her. I want to place nest in a hanging basket and move it about 6 ft on other side of tv. It will still be at same height and under cover.
I would just go elsewhere but I have no other covered area and I work 10 hour days then have 4-5 hrs to document and this is my only space to de-escalate and keep my sanity. I don’t want to harm the bird or it’s egg. Please advise. She hasn’t come back in past hour I’ve been here. I won’t move her if she won’t go to egg if I do but I also won’t give up my space or hooka because my mental well being depends on it.
