Next season you might try providing one on your deck!
Might be fun for you. Doves are simple birds and don't
make complicated nests. I'll search Google for you later
today to illustrate them. We had huge numbers of
doves this winter on the feeding bench we fed on. They had
quite a pecking order similar to chickens. The really like cracked
corn and millet.

mrsD- Thanks for the info. I will look into this. I have a pair whom love to hang out on the deck. It sounds easy enough to further accommodate them.
I deeply enjoy observing wildlife.

Since my GSD has passed on, I am even more into the various birds.
DH and I are temporarily living in a community where many do not want anyone to attract wildlife, including birds.
. Yet, our yards are plentiful with many types of birds and other wildlife, even though we don't feed them. People think we are feeding the birds, rabbits, other animals. We aren't feeding them at all. We only provide a bird bath. The animals enjoy our yards for some reason. When we move again, we will be further out in the country again and not in a shared community setting. We can then interact with more wildlife. If I get another GSD, she may scare off some wildlife. We'll see.

I love to hear the birds singing every morning! Bliss!

Warmly,
