So once again, I come home after being gone for a few days to a birds nest!! Unfortunately the one I shared in April was abandoned very quickly.😔 But this pair might be the same as last year as they're not too bothered by me and the nest was wonderfully made like last year's pair! (a surprise given they're mourning doves XD)
We have had an issue this week that required intervention. The nest was causing the AC unit to run weird due to twigs catching on the internal fan. It's too hot here for me to go without it but I don't want damage, or worse, a fire to start.
With clean hands and gloves on, I had to cut some of the tree branches out of the way and then had to move the nest. BELIEVE ME, I DIDN'T WANT TO. ＞︿＜ Do not handle wildlife!! Nest and eggs were placed in a container that was clean and can keep twigs out of the ac unit.
They COMPLETELY accepted it. I love these silly birds SO MUCH. The container is connected to the AC unit with magnets. I made sure it'd be difficult for wind to move it. :)
I'll keep up with bird updates just like last year :) Let's watch babies grow up together 💚💚
