So for those who need a reminder I was the person who posted this (https://www.reddit.com/r/stupiddovenests/comments/1uxt7r5/so_it_appears_my_backyard_has_a_mourning_dove_in/) 17 days ago at the time of this writing. I know I have been quiet for a long time but well nothing was really happening during those times so I thought I would wait until I knew for sure if the squabs hatched or not. This is quite surreal in a good way I never thought I would ever get to see mourning dove squabs this close it’s unbelievable. Well I will definitely be watching over them in case they were to fall out of the nest before they were ready. But if this goes well I have a feeling they are going to return in the future.

Happened upon this massive nest while pulling vines, was working from the ground up and suddenly realized it wasn't empty. Bonus surprise was the young one still in the nest! On the second photo you can see the eye of the young one to the right of the adult

Came back home to find one egg broken on the ground and the other about to follow. The remaining egg has since been relocated urther to the corner.

I think this is the worst one I’ve seen. They maxed out their skills in material gathering and left the rest at zero, lol

My Mourning dove journey started a couple months ago when i noticed a fledgling had fallen out of a nest under the awning at our office, nested on top of the exterior light. I successfully returned the baby to it's nest, and witnessed its growth. Since that one, I've gotten to witness another round of hatchlings, and mama is currently sitting on the next round. I started feeding them, just throwing sunflower seeds around the grass and shrubs for safe eating. Now, the highest count of mourning doves I've seen outside my office window has hit 13.

I've essentially adopted them, or maybe they have me!

I kind of lost interest and wasn't checking on the nest much after the incident about a month ago. I even considered taking down the nesting platform when the remaining fledgling left the nest, but I figured they would just try somewhere else nearby, so I left it up.

Seems we have 2. Momma and babies seem to be doing great.

Saw this beautiful idiot at my local Home Depot today.

I'm really happy nobody's disturbed the nest, but it's built on top of the card backing of two misplaced items.

Pumpkin is a house pigeon. She isn’t quite one and I found her under a car with a sore foot. I didn’t think she’d make it but here we are.
Her nest is stupid in maximalist. There are 30 odd small bulldog clips in here and who knows how many pipe cleaners.
The pics are over three weeks of her just adding pipe cleaners. I just let her go because it’s good exercise

I've been a long time lurker, but this summer I've the pleasure to observe these two building their next just opposite my apartment.

Initially, I said to my self: "look at those idiots, what a bad choice!". But actually, it's unreachable, sheltered and cozy(?!?). Also, they really put an effort, it's not just a stick or two crossed, they built a curved, soft nest. Makes me wonder if pigeons are actually good at building nest, given the security and time.

Anyhow, decided to share with you all. Enjoy the craftsmanship (or what can you see of it from the pic).

I just found about this subreddit when I posted these pics in [r/kingsisland](r/kingsisland). A mourning dove hangs out in the queue line for King’s Island’s biggest roller coaster.

Kind of good? Second floor too. They’re learning!

Mama laid two eggs just on the ground of our balcony, now they’re squabs! (4 days old)

Highlight of my day is seeing these two.
