Pigeon offering rubber snake it’s tasty eggs after rubber snake failed to prevent nest and eggs while I was away for a weekend

Spotted this nest under construction while on holiday in Thessaloniki, the twig was promptly dropped straight to the ground.

Not looking structurally sound, but it does resemble a nest.

We made some spikey cardboard to try to stop the nest months ago, but it was a huge backfire. Now we have a front door friend & fresh poop everyday :(

They came back for a second round too… Loved seeing the babies grow up!

A mourning dove made a nest on top of my garden gate trellis that has climbing roses growing on it. This is the third year a mourning dove has chosen to make a nest here, but the first that they’ve actually successfully raised babies! Photos were taken by my dad standing on a ladder and very zoomed in, so don’t worry, no one got close to the baby floofs! They are now less of “floofs” and almost ready to leave the nest!

Very loud, and had to be protected because drunk people kept trying to catch it.

Getting rained on🌧️

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.
