They know that they can trust you to do them "no harm" evidently.

A couple of weeks ago a mourning dove decided to nest in a hanging basket right by the door we use the most. She laid her eggs and they both dutifully incubated them. They tolerated everything that went on including the blower and me accidentally hitting the basket while working on the porch. Sunday, the first hatchling appeared and either yesterday or today the 2nd one did. We can watch her feed them and them preen from inside our kitchen. Whoever picked the spot did a great job because it’s been sheltered from the couple of downp ours we’ve had. It’s been pretty interesting to watch. Oh, and Linda even watered the plant one day with the dove on her nest, with no problem.
