Now whenever me or my family leave the house, we have to be careful to not scare her lol

She even scared the uber eats guy. Lol. My brother ordered food and the uber eats guy put the food on the table not realizing and the dove flew at the guy and scared him lmao

I took this a few years ago. I was more interested in the alien baby the dove is protecting.

A pair of mourning doves I've affectionately named Ginny and Augustus have chosen our AC unit as a nesting spot. A few days of work in and it's looking... unimpressive.... will it get any better or is this about it?

That is one wide-eyed dove.

Walked right by it within a couple feet and didn't even notice it at first. Just sat there's like a statue watching me.

I noticed a couple doves hanging out around my empty bird feeder a few weeks ago. They contributed a whole two twigs so we put out a little nesting material in case they wanted any help. They disappeared for a while (I figured they took offense) and then today I came home to this. She’s not even sitting on the egg. 😭 I feel like with the feeder’s divider she just accidentally dropped it on the wrong side and hasn’t realized it.

Well, as I write this I think she’s just noticed the egg is on the wrong side. This is a developing story folks.

any advice would be great (i work full time and really need my car)

This was my neighbors truck last summer. He would remove the nest and she’d be right back at rebuilding it the next day. I named her Mother Trucker.

I just found this sub and finally have a place to share the nest that a pair of mourning doves made in a pair of leaf scoops I had sitting on top of a storage cabinet in my carport. They’ve used it two seasons now for four broods so I guess they like the location? But now I can never scoop leaves again 😂

My friend looked out on her patio and freaked out 😂

I love mourning doves, so I was excited when I found these two building their idiot containment zone while I was eating lunch. I ended up shooing her away and removed the handful of twigs they had already placed so she wouldn’t lay eggs on my coworkers car.
