In My Hanging Plant

Nesting Dove
Yesterday, I noticed a dove nesting in my hanging plant, which hangs from the eave of my ramada, or outdoor patio. Unfortunately, one of my cats noticed it, too. I'm all ready to tile my patio, but now will put it off once again. I'm trying not to disturb them, but I have to go out into my back yard sometimes. For example, I have to take out the trash container tonight. I hope they don't abandon the eggs, but on the other hand, I hope they don't keep using my hanging plant for a nest for future broods. I guess this is what happens when you feed the birds over the winter...

Doves Nesting In Fern Plant

we will miss them
I noticed the nest a couple of weeks ago when I went to water my fern. Its at eye level, and easily seen.
I watched them everyday. They would switch places and seemed ok with the fact that I would have to water the fern from the side sometimes.
However, they have not been in the nest since yesterday. I hope that have not left there eggs.
It is looking like they have. I wish that I could have prevented this somehow. We were all looking forward to the hatching.
I looked at the eggs this morning and they have little tiny bugs crawling on them. What do I do now? How can I provide them a better spot for next time?
The Dove's are all over our neighborhood.

Morning Doves Nesting In My Hanging Plants.

Two Eggs In The Nest
I found doves nesting at my house. I came across them when watering my hanging plants that hang well above the ground but just off of my front entrance deck.
It startled me as well as the nesting dove when I sprayed water from my water hose into the hanging ivy.
The dove flew out furiously and we both yelped. I was less than a foot away. I looked into the hanging basket and saw the two eggs.
I got very excited but was concerned that the bird would not come back, but less than 5 minutes later the bird returned to its duties. I immediately took some photos to share with family and friends.
When my girlfriend came home I told her about the nesting birds and she told me she knew they were using the hanging plant as a nest but didn't know they laid eggs.
I told her I only saw one. She then told me that she saw one standing on the others back like a balancing act.
We both laughed and said they must have been mating and after reading the information at this site I am positive that is exactly what was taking place.
The information provided from this site was very helpful and interesting. We did not know that the male and female were switching out their duties on the nest.
It has been about 9 days since we first noticed the nest and we are very excited about the days to come.
