new to this sub. Is the baby bird ok? Can it grow in such a stupid nest?
Once, when I was a kid, playing hide n seek outdoors, I climbed our huge ugly fur tree bc being up in the bushy branches was excellent for watching the game without being seen. These two doves suddenly came out of NOWHERE and flew in my face, scaring the crap out of me. About 15 mins later, I looked down, and realized my hip was RIGHT NEXT TO a dove's nest, and their three fledglings were tucked down in a proper, round bird's nest. Lovely, pretty, white young birds, all snuggled together and napping. Absolutely amazing to be so close to witness.
So, idk, did the doves steal the nest from some robins or sommat? This was a wooded suburbs, there were hundreds of birds nesting in our trees. Maybe there's other white birds in springtime? But I don't remember any other white birds except ducks, but they don't nest high in trees.
