  • These mourning doves graciously built a nest and brought up their 2 kids in my balcony. Here is a video of them growing up.

    I love Mourning Doves! They’re such a Beautiful, Blessing, and Perfect Creature created by the Almighty God. 😇
    About a month ago, two of them actually flew into my little plant and decided to nest there, and I was very excited at that moment! After about two weeks, they finally hatched their first egg (you know, it’s interesting that this little baby’s birth date was actually in Jul. 4th, the Independence Day), then followed by another 2 days, second baby joined the family! 🐣 Today, their parents have left the nest (but stayed around and kept on spectating at them), and I think the smaller ones’ leaving nest date is in 3 days. Kind of sad since knowing them for so long… 😢 Did take a lot of amazing photos and videos though (might will make one video about them too) and I was thinking: There’s no such reason that you do not belong in this Amazing World, and you are Not Lonely, the God is watching always with Loveliness.
    Sorry for writing so long… 😅

    How sweet!! My mourning dove laid eggs one of my pots in the balcony three times this past spring-summer!
    She is back again, has been a whole week already but she is alone... everyday she comes to my balcony sits there till evening then she flies away and comes back the following morning...but she is alone....which makes me a bit sad...Love her....❤❤❤❤💓💓💓

    I love doves and have always had 10-15 at the bottom of my feeder and I even built them a platform feeder. But suddenly overnight they disappeared except for an occasional one by itself that stops by for a minute. Idk why they disappeared. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video. I'm amazed at how you can get so close to them. Mine were so skittish.

    Doves live for 4-5 years. The males make the cooing sound to attract a female. The male brings twigs for the female to decorate the nest. The male sits on the eggs during the day and the female (called a hen) sits on the eggs at night. Both father & mother doves feed their babies their “dove milk.”

      Interesting. I had two waiting by my door about a year ago. I have no idea how they got into the building but they were literally standing and facing my door as if to say, we've been waiting for you to let us in......sadly they flew away as I got closer.
      A few years prior, I found one nestled up with 2 eggs by my bathroom window. A few days later, while driving, I heard a voice say, "There's been an accident!" I got home only to find she'd lost one of the eggs. 2 or 3 weeks later, she had her beautiful baby... they stayed for a few more days and I literally saw her and the baby flew off into the sunset...Something quite magical about that experience.

    I’m so excited, a mourning dove couple has been perching near my apartment and I think the female trusts me 🥰 She lets me walk close to her, even within touching distance, and doesn’t fly away!
    I’m going to give them a basket so they can lay some eggs 💗🤗
    Sadly when I first moved there was an egg shell on the ground 🥺 I read they’re a bit notorious at being bad at constructing nests so it couldn’t hurt to give them a helping hand!
    They’ve left plenty of twigs but haven’t assembled it yet 🥺 Maybe I’ll add them into whatever I find!

    This is really cute and I like that you put water for them because I was thinking about doing that too but baby birds are so fragile that water is way too deep for them they shouldn’t even get wet until they have their outer feathers because they can easily freeze to death and they can definitely easily drown if they fall in there. But really they don’t even need it the mama will get it for her for them by way of food. Pretty good at that kind of stuff but I was actually thinking of doing something just like that only more shallow. Now that I think about it I don’t think I’m going to mess with it at all
