We have a pair of doves that come and nest on our back porch. This will be the 3rd summer. I bought a hanging plant the 1st yr we moved into our home and the pair immediately made a nest in it and killed the plant since I couldn't water it. The plant is long gone but not the birds. They are there from early spring until late fall laying, hatching and raising 2 babies at a time (at least 5 hatchings a season). This spring a bluejay had been bothering them (the jay loves the dog food bowl which is below the nest) so I moved the nesting planter to the other side of the porch and so far it's working. My DH said the jay is still bothering them some so we may have to figure out a way to "remove" the bluejay.
