About a week ago, a mourning dove nested in our flower box right outside out window. I was babysitting my friends’ son, who is about four years old. One night, I come into yt room and I see him poking at the mother mourning dove through the screen, and when I came in, the mother mourning dove had flown off! It’s been about thirty minutes, and I’m wondering if she is going to come back.. The two eggs had hatched, and the birds have some feathers, but not enough for them to survive. They are about 5 inches long. I haven’t touched them, but still I’m worried if the mom will come back because of what threat the child posed on them.
