    Mourning Doves flew away

    There were a pair of mourning doves making a nest in my backyard, (really close to my window). When I was doing some exercise, I jumped and the doves got scared and flew away from the nest. However, the nest was empty. Will they come back? Because they were really cute and I liked them.

    Baby Mourning Dove Left Nest

    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...

    Can Currawongs (or birds in general) have phantom pregnancies?

    Hi, We have a currawong who spent over 2 weeks building a nest in the tree next to our balcony. It's been quite an honor being able to witness firsthand / up close the persisting process of getting a single twig to balance on a branch, and eventually build it into a nest. Very satisfying to...

    Mourning Dove Nests

    Can I spray the mourning doves nest with soapy water? I recently had a pair of dove nest on my window and their squads matured to fledglings and they have left the nest as of now. I don't want any mites to start appearing as I don't want a mite infestation in my home/mites killing future squads.
