Friday 2 doves made a nest. Saturday they laid the eggs. Sunday the mother sat there.?

Question

Monday the mother kept leaving and returning. tuesday was the same and the mother is still not back yet and no one has touched them. Is something wrong or is this normal?

Answer 1

normal the mother has the smell of them and can find them easy but if she doesnt come back in like two more days u might want to get them and raise them your self just sayin

Answer 2

Birds do not sit on their eggs 24 hours a day, they get off to forage and feed etc. Sounds normal that she comes and goes.   Also, birds do not abandon a nest due to someone touching it as they do not have a very well developed sense of smell.

Answer 3

this is normal i had starlings in my grill and she did that everything will be fine but just in case mommy doesnt come back let nature take its course dont disturb them
