Okay, so my problem is I have a baby mourning dove living on my railing downstairs, and I don’t have a problem with this, it’s just that he only ended up there this morning, and the mum has been here twice today to feed it, and it’s great, but my concern is that, we have a lot of stray cats in the neighbourhood, and I know come night fall he will be a goner. Is there anyway I can safely move him to my second floor balcony, where he will be safe, without upsetting his mum, or her not being able to find him, and of course me not getting hurt. Please help I don’t know much about birds but I do know I love mourning doves.
He is right on my railing I have gone in and out of my front door a dozen times today and he hasn’t flown away I think he is too young to fly, and I know at least enough that I can’t let me smell get on him, but I really don’t want to see him die 
There must be some way, especially being that I’ve been less than a foot from him quite a few times and been able to go out my front door with the mum there and she’s not done a thing to me, and she keeps coming back, should I wear gloves, or can I get him to walk into a box or something.
Also, as far as numbers go and getting people to help I am in Ontario, Canada, if anyone knows of a good service for that please tell me.
SO COOL!!! okay so I was going to move him, and I went downstairs and I was waiting because the mum was there and then I see the baby try and move his wings and he couldn’t fly, and I stood there for 10 minutes watching him try and then all of a sudden he just managed to raise up off the railing, he flew to my neighbour’s tree before stopping, it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Thanks for all your help guys.
