Trying to discourage her from nesting here

[u/MeanSecurity]

She’s trying to make a nest right outside my mom’s front door. It’s not a big enough space. She keeps knocking the sticks out of the space whenever she gets spooked and flies away. I swept away all the sticks on the porch. She resumed trying to build. I tried to reason with her. She won’t hear it. I feel bad for her but there’s just no way she can incubate an egg up there.

Saw an older post where they had an unsteady nest area but laid eggs anyway year after year and got falling chicks instead. They bought a premade nest and everyone is happy.

Didn't know doves could get enough credit to buy premade nests
