2 Baby mouning doves may be abandonded?

[JBDOVE]

A mourning dove nested in one of my hanging plants and I have not seen her for a few days. Babies look like they are a couple weeks old have feathers and are alert, but I really don't know when they hatched. I am concerned as I have not seen mom bird around ( maybe I'm missing her visits?
Should I attempt to feed them ?

She is probably visiting when you are not watching. Watch for an hour or two. If the mom is not back within a few hours than call a Wildlife Rehab Center. Don't disturb them.

It's so good of you to be aware! Do you watch birds (I do)? Good luck!

Welcome to BYC!
Agreed, dove feeding visits are normally very quick. They may also hang around the nest from a distance, where you aren't able to see them.

If the babies weren't being looked after they'd deteriorate quickly. As long as they're alert and growing I wouldn't worry too much.

Thanks everyone for the knowledge & advise!

Harboring our native wild birds is a federal offense. Please see this sticky...
