id=\"feeders\"><strong>Feeders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Mourning doves are slightly larger than many backyard birds, which means they prefer platform or tray feeders where they can perch comfortably. They&#8217;re also happy feeding directly from the ground, as long as the area is relatively clean of seed husks or other debris that might bury their food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also plant berry bushes or seed-bearing flowers for another food source. Once the birds find a reliable food supply in your yard, they&#8217;re likely to keep coming back to that same spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"providing-a-water-source\"><strong>Providing a Water Source <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>All birds, including mourning doves, need access to fresh, clean water for both drinking and bathing. A well-maintained <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/bird-baths\/\">bird bath<\/a> can be a simple yet effective way to invite mourning doves to stop by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set up a shallow bird bath with about one to two inches of water. Mourning doves prefer shallow water, so avoid anything too deep. You can even add a few small stones or a shallow ramp to your bird bath to give mourning doves better footing and make it easier for them to access the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the birdbath in a sunny, open area where they feel safe and can keep an eye out for danger. Avoid locations that are too close to thick vegetation where predators may hide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to regularly empty and clean your bird bath to prevent algae growth and spread of diseases among your feathered friends. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"bb-carousel bb-product-carousel\" data-cy=\"bb-product-carousel\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"section-title\">Shop Bird

Suitable Habitat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Mourning doves are drawn to environments where they can feel safe and secure. <\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"resting-and-nesting-spaces\"><strong>Resting and Nesting Spaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;ll want a place they can rest and nest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perching Areas: <\/strong>Mourning doves like to perch on bare branches, clotheslines, telephone wires, or rooftops. So make sure there are spaces where they can sit comfortably. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nesting Spots: <\/strong>Mourning doves build loose, messy nests on tree limbs, ledges, or even man-made structures around your home. You can help them out by offering nesting materials such as twigs, grass clippings, pine needles, or soft plant fibers. Place the materials in open spots across your yard for easy access. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ensuring-a-safe-environment\"><strong>Ensuring a Safe Environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Mourning doves are cautious birds, so it&#8217;s essential to give them a safe and peaceful environment where they feel safe. Here&#8217;s how you can achieve that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep Predators Away: <\/strong>Outdoor cats and other predators can scare away doves. Keep pets indoors or create barriers to help protect your backyard birds. You can also use structures like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/products\/463348-more-birds-squirrel-x-18-inch-wrap-around-squirrel-baffle.html\">baffles<\/a> to protect food and nests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimize Noise: <\/strong>Loud noises and sudden movements can discourage doves from settling in. Position feeders and baths in areas that get less foot traffic or commotion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid Bullying Birds: <\/strong>If your yard attracts other aggressive birds like crows or hawks, it may deter mourning doves. Consider setting up a separate feeding area for doves to reduce competition. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Mourning doves are a joy to have around. And creating a welcoming environment for them is a rewarding experience for any bird lover. With a little care and effort, you&#8217;ll soon have mourning doves gracing your outdoor space. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"bb-carousel bb-category-carousel\" data-cy=\"bb-category-carousel\">\n\t\t<div
