Hi all,
Please see the attached photo of a collard dove attempting to build it`s nest on the arm of my satellite dish :-\
The male keeps bringing in twigs, which the female attempts to start the nest off with, & of course they just fall down.
This has been going on for 2 days now, the questions are should I leave them alone ? should I actively discourage them, bearing in mind the futility of their efforts? If by chance they succeed the bird mess that I will have to dodge every time I leave the house is also a concern, as it is right above my path.
Any thoughts.
Adrian.
