Mourning Dove Nesting
by Caitlin
(Aurora, IL)
I have a Mourning Dove (I have named her Paulina) nesting on a patio chair on my apartment balcony. The past few days it has been down pouring, usually the rain doesn't come in my balcony but it has and Paulina is getting drenched. What can I do for her? Do these birds attack if we go near them??? CommentBirds have feathers which keep them reasonably warm, even at the worst of times. I wouldn't advise going near her, or she could decide to abandon the nest. (I doubt very much she would attack you.) If you still want to do something, possibly you could drape a tarp somehow over the top of the chair without much disturbance to Paulina. Susan
