Mourning Doves Habits - Mating, Eating, Nesting, & Lifespan - 2023

These lovely mourning doves have been visiting the same nest for three years and last year, between the months of July & August, they hatched two eggs. They are back in their nest again and I had the opportunity to record it and share it with all bird lovers.

I just watched two of these birds do the kissses I thought they were fighting. They come back every year for the last 3 years Fred and Ethel is what I nicknamed them 😊

I have a Morning Dove that just started creating a nest a couple of days ago on my kitchen window seal. I just hope this little treasure doesn't stay alone too long.

[@leobell2459]

🎉 Update I, now, have a pair. So so excited.

[@starrbeeler629]

The mourning doves I have are in my hanging Geranium planter on my porch !! What a blessing for me to watch !! ❤ My first experience , I loved your video !!

[@NCHBirdsChannel]

So lovely

[@mission_new-earth]

I just love them

[@joanneschappert6984]

That is one heck of a cushiony and spacious nest. Ours is very sparse and compact in comparison. My pair weren't very interested in making a nest. They were much more interested in making out with each other. Here, there, everywhere LOL!😂

[@jcnaturegraphy]

haha.. They like this nest. It's been there for 4 years and only last year they hatched two eggs. Pls check out this link to last year's video kzbin.info/aero/PLeMtqZ9B_vcrSLEn6HOv4kVQsCIivN1yk

We have counted ten mourning doves in our yard, little ones observed in our front yards a few years ago.beautiful birds…❤

[@glazedconfused8764]

This was so informative- thank you! 🕊️

[@melguzman2322]

Loyalty and commitment ❤❤

[@pedrozatravel]

Cool story, thank you for sharing

[@melguzman2322]

I was worried that his sharp beak could accidentally poke her eyes while he continually kisses her 😂😂

[@jcnaturegraphy]

🤣

[@taylorharbin3948]

We have a pair nesting on top of a ladder in our shed. I was very surprised, as we have dogs that frequent the yard. I’ll have to keep a sharp eye on them!

[@ripostustubus1883]

we have an idiom in turkish (çifte kumrular) which means pair/couple of mourning doves. its used to call out a lovey dovey couple.

[@Funktastico]

does dove remove chicks fecal sacs like other birds ? my wall is full of dried poops dripping whole lines down from top to to bottom :(

[@jcnaturegraphy]

I haven’t seen mourning doves 🕊️ doing that yet and I don’t think they would because during this nestling period, there is dried poop all around the nest and the front doorway where the nest is 😆

[@jcnaturegraphy]

[@ItzMeJacE]

I have a ton of birds that are all around my backyard that look like these (dark grey bodies with black spots.... but smaller). They don't ever hoot/coo, though. They only chirp. I'm not convinced they are Mourning Doves, but nothing is coming up other than that when I search the web. I'm in northern California. Help!

Providing a range of grains and seeds is a sure way to attract doves, and they are partial to sunflower seeds, millet, milo, cracked corn, and wheat. Because these are larger birds, they prefer feeding on the ground or using large, stable tray or platform feeders that have adequate room to perch.

[@ItzMeJacE]

@JC Nature Graphy Thank you! But are these indeed Mourning Doves I am watching? Again, they are smaller and only "chirp." (Also, I have one I captured and put neelar some bushes with seeds... it was drowning in a bucket of water because it didn't have a tail)

[@jcnaturegraphy]

@@ItzMeJacEpls share the photo of the bird you are talking about.

[@ItzMeJacE]

@JC Nature Graphy I'm not sure how to share a picture! I'd love to though.

[@joanneschappert6984]

This whole time, my nesting🪹🪺pair has been on the nest, and I wrongly assumed it was only the female for some reason, silly me!😮

[@jcnaturegraphy]

🙂

[@reneesanchez1923]

I only have the momma. No husband. Worried about her. She doesnt leave to eat. Going on 7 days

[@jcnaturegraphy]

It’s sad to see the way these birds wait for their mating pairs

[@nadz598]

The male sits on the egg all day and the female sits on it all night so best believe its a couple

I love birds but these birds are replicas of pigeon rats with wings. Their cooing sound makes everyone I know want to regurgitate.
