A dove has made a nest of my hanging fern plant . . . ?

and I'm inclined to let it stay there. Is there any reason I shouldn't?





It usually just sits there, except when I water the plant and it flies off . . .

just let her sit there and buy another one !


A dove making a nest anywhere on your property means a blessing on your family is about to come! I wonder what it is?!
Reply:Cool. Thank you. She's still there. Report It

Reply:That is so awesome. I had a dove do the same in a hanging flower pot last year. I continued to water it, but unfortunately, she abandoned the nest. It was hanging by my front door, so I think she was afraid of everyone passing by each day. I hope this doesn't happen to you. Please just leave the plant there. Maybe water it when she isn't there. You might scare her off.
Reply:I would leave it. Doves will lay eggs up to 6 times a year, but I don't know if they use the same nest every time. Meanwhile, here is a site that will show you how to build a birdhouse, of sorts, for doves. I actually built one a few days ago but it has yet to be inhabited.

Reply:Birds return every year to the same place they nest, wait until the new eggs hatch then remove nest %26amp; posibly remove fern to a new area maybe an enclosed place like a patio
Reply:I had a dove do the same thing. I just left it be. It didn't harm my plant and it was really cool to watch it every day. It left after about a month.
Reply:sh!t stains on the porch
Reply:Enjoy watching it for now.


It will go when it is ready.


Won't be long but don't feed or water it.
