So, barring another hawk attack, I think they'll be just fine! Or should we take it in and try to hatch and raise it ourselves? We found it's not a good idea for us to put out a specific feeder because the neighborhood hawk finds out about it and dive-bombs them while they're all huddled together eating (I've seen him do it!)

I had a friend who had a pair nesting in a planter directly outside her kitchen window. Whether it was the one who flew into the window or not, we can't be sure, but we kept an eye on the nest all evening and neither parent has returned (it's now midnight and she was usually sitting on the nest by sundown at the latest).

Even if the mourning dove which died is the one which was incubating the eggs, it's partner will take care of the eggs though the chances of the eggs hatching will be slim.

So, if fertile, it must have been in the very early stages.

If she doesnt have to go far to worry about foraging, that alone from you may help her succeed in raising them AND whos to say that it WAS one of the pair, could be another dove from anywhere. Sponsored Content, Contests, and Giveaways. Well I no sooner got up to go investigate when our (indoor) Cockatiels suddenly began screaming and thrashing around their cage.

What I would do to help that dove is simply put out a good food supply so if and when the babies hatch, which they may not as they will have chilled overnight, depending on how far along they were in development. We have a mourning dove nesting above our side door as we speak.

In fact, she gets Depo-Lupron shots every few months to prevent her from laying, so I don't know if her maternal instinct would even kick in.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but what about putting up curtains or blinds? Good news!

I had doves build a nest on a window air conditioner that ran pretty much constantly.

12 Years. All posts copyright their original authors. It may be that your pair of doves will be more okay with your human activity than you are anticipating. In fact, given the urban environment they live in, they might already be quite used to living around people, and might even actually have deliberately chosen that spot in the hopes that your human activity will scare off predators and other, less-acclimated birds. Thread starter #1 Dinos_rock Songster. So I would not do anything different than you are doing now, and enjoy the show.

They put those warnings on the labels because people often try to DIY raise/rehab baby birds and they often kill them with improper diets. Of course, we would make sure she was really gone before we would do that.

Mama (or Papa) is back on her nest this morning! So thanks for your support! Well, I'll be sure to have the coffee ready when the Feds show up. The parent that was just relieved of nest duty is now fighting the other doves in the yard for his or her share of the food we have thrown out on the patio area for them.

They would occasionally get startled by a human presence and fly away, but they would quickly return and settle down to take care of the eggs / babies. Remember, one mourning dove flew into a window and died (presumably trying to escape the hawk). Since it's now quite cool outside we're concerned about the abandoned egg and are wondering what we should do: Should we just leave it there over night in hopes that the parent might still return in the morning or will the chilled air kill the chick?

Nthing just going about your life. Good luck! Someone where I live posted pictures of the doves, nesting on their patio in a cactus planter, where they do this every year.

It was sweet to watch, and we are happy to finally know that the parents are both alive and well. So now we just scatter it out on the pavement so they can search around for it. Well, I learned a valuable lesson about the avian maternal instinct, and what to do with nests that.

I've got a hen that refuses to roost in the coop. That's why I wanted to bounce it off you guys... yes, to find out if there's a way I might be able to help, but also to see if I'm being unreasonable thinking I can intervene and save the little thing and to ease my conscience if I do such as you're suggesting and it doesn't survive.
