If you are having trouble with a dove nest, here are some suggestions:
* Wait it out: Collared doves often raise their young in nests for a few weeks, then move on.
* Contact a professional: A wildlife removal specialist can safely and humanely remove the nest and relocate the doves.
* Prevent future nesting: If you have a problem with doves nesting in the same spot, try covering your sky dish or making it less appealing to them (for example, by trimming nearby trees).
Remember, it's important to be humane in dealing with wildlife, so please don't try to remove the nest yourself unless you are comfortable with it and confident you can do so safely.
