While the video is obv very cute it's usually recommended by wildlife experts that you should really do yoy best to not make yourself a part of the birds life. You don't want to increase their dependence on humans because it hurts them in the long term. For example if you constantly provide water for them that's great you're ensuring the birds have access to water in a close and safe location. The problem is what if you now make the fledgling birds worse at seeking safe water in the wild. Another example is obv petting the birds and making them comfortable around you. What if now they assume all humans are good and are less inclined to avoid them.
So adorable! I have a mama with 2 babies nesting in the flowers of a hanging pot on my front porch right now! It's been awesome watching them hatch and grow! They look old enough to fledge any day now! I will miss them! 💓
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.
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… 😅
Beautifully done! I'm so happy to be currently watching a mom + two (Dad comes and goes), also in a flower pot - I never thought I'd get to see baby doves! Thanks for your wonderful video!!
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....❤❤❤❤💓💓💓
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.”
We have a family of Mourning Doves in a nest under our deck right now (our deck sits about 12 feet off the ground so they built on top of the posts). But wow!!! What a blessing that you were able to handle them. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings, always~
What a wonderful video! It reminds me of the doves that nested every year for about five years, in the same hanging planter in my grandmother's backyard. Thank you for posting this!
Start feeding the stray pigeons and doves green millet, pearl millet, wheat... automatically they'll come n nest in ur flower pots. You'll then have to protect their babies from cats, eagles, hawks and crows
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! How big is this planter?
Did amazing job befriending that mated pair of doves. Usually their extremely skittish. Also, where I live their nicknamed "cinnamon doves" because of their coloration.
Keep shooing them away constantly till they stop coming and please protect these little ones from cats, eagles, hawks and crows. These cute little babies don't deserve to end up this way.
@@Luminousmoon_ I know these crows r a menace to these little baby doves, I too had to face tough times protecting such babies from crows and my sister's cats in my previous to previous house. It was terrible. I had to keep running all the time from one window to another to drive away these crows. When we love we have to care,. Love and kindness r not easy, yet be kind always. I used to take these kids inside my house in absence of their parents, I used to take them in even at night and return them back to their parents in the morning.. The parents used to trust me.
You are so lucky they say seeing or having mourning doves is a sign of angels being close by you are so lucky :) I have a mama dove nesting in my plant too lol
Same, I also have two little doves in my plant. They’re about to leave the nest soon and kind of sad after knowing them and their parents for so long… I’ve took so many beautiful pictures and videos (I’ll probably make one video about them also), they’re absolutely adorable and peaceful, it is a rare, blessing gift from the almighty God.
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.
Your video is SO AWESOME!!! We have a pair that built their best on our window sill. We have thoroughly enjoyed watching them brood, momma and daddy feeding their young. They will be leaving the nest any day now. I will so miss them!!!
I live in Tucson and have a nest of doves on my balcony. I was wondering what ways I could help them and I see you provided water. I'm going to do that as well. Thanks for sharing!

@@ezequieladrianminniti6252 When I go out to bring my birds in I leave about 2 handfuls of assorted seed outside on the grass but if I see them I throw seed to them. They've gotten within 2 metres but never closer.
Hi Basu , Some people are feel like growing 🐦🐦 are very irritating and it spoil the environment . But they will learn real happy Ness ,what is real meaning of trust and peaceful respect the nature Even I have the rosters in my village home 🏡🏡 Love you basu
I have a pair that set up a nest on my patio in a succulent, too. They already hatched a previous family, which fledged. Now they have two new eggs. How did you get them to trust you?
Last month i used to gently take a 2 days old baby pigeon from our window and stoke, it, pet it, it used to cling to me like a human baby, now it considers me as his mom
We had a nesting dove on our balcony too but we got up this morning only to find that she was gone and the eggs have disappeared. We are on the top floor and she built the nest behind the satellite dish, well hidden away. We've been interacting with her for about 10 days now and she seemed very comfortable with us. I looked around and could see no signs of eggshells and looked at ground level and nothing was found. Can doves move their eggs somehow? Or could it be that a crow may have paid her a visit?
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
How did you get close to them? Long ago one laid eggs in a flower pot in my apartment balcony, but she fled when I came in and never came back and her eggs just sat there cold and one fell and it was all yolk.
