    Those little sounds they make are adorable. I also love how they're already feisty and fighting with one another in the present of food loll. Mourning doves are adorable no matter what age they are.

      they are not fighting
      its more like they expect food from their other sibling
      baby doves get silly when theyre hungry

    Thank you for all of the questions and comments! I was only trying to let my niece know the chicks she found were doing ok, I hadn't realized this could help others. As Michael mentioned, they grew up and became parents, and the female likes to visit me while weeding the garden. Some other tips that might help, if you are waiting for formula online, stage 1 baby food jars will hold you over. I don't recommend relying only on baby food, because the formula has enzymes for crop health. Keeping them warm is a must, but beware of over heating. A crop that hasn't emptied completely after a few hours is a sign of over heating. Also, make sure the crop has emptied before feeding again. I feed every 3-4 hours. If you experience slow crop digestion, you can mix 1 part pedialite, 3 parts water, 1 part powdered formula and only feed a little bit of this mixture to help digestion along ( and adjust heating!) Most important is to not force feed or squirt formula down a tiny doves mouth because they can aspirate/drown easily. Good luck, and please continue to ask any questions you have! Thanks!

    We watched as the doves were making their nest, high in the trees. Last night on our walk, after a strong windy day, I noticed the nest on the ground, and the baby was next to it. That was like 40'.... so we went and got the bird formula, and feeder. Made it through last night and today.... keeping it warm and covered. It looks like these, except his eyes aren't open. Hoping it continues to eat and will be watching for mamma bird :) great video, very helpful.

    Well. a couple of things. First off, you're a compassionate and caring person, and I wanna thank you !! .If this works for you, fine but I'd be interested in knowing the final outcome.
    The corn meal is something I would NOT recommend as it has very little nutrients for developing doves, and these guys are very little.
    As the first Cuban American to ever hand raise a 4 day old Diamond Dove , AND the inventor of the "Zip lock, sandwich plastic bag feeding technique" , I can honestly say there are better techniques at hand, but enough about me.
    As far as feeding, you can try Kaytee exact baby bird formula, then as they get bigger you can mix in finch seed . If they were smaller, you can try Columbae, hand feeding pigeon crop feeding Milk. Thanks again.

    My baby sadly died this morning, I was so upsett,I dont know what i did wrong she didnt seem to put on weight .do you use a heat pad for these babies? I hope your babies have flourished, thank you for being so caring.

      Jennifer Haughton, yes we used a heating pad under a towel. As babies they can't regulate their temperature. Very important that they stay warm. Also very important to feed every 4 hrs. It's hard to raise baby animals and sometimes it just doesn't work out. Sorry for your loss. Our babies free up healthy and from what we have observed, they have their own family now. ( the female has been back to visit with 2 chicks)

      Michael Gilpatrick thank you, so glad they are healthy and happy, I wish i had found this video 3 days ago, As i only had her in a polar fleece pouch and lambs wool as i have done with other types of birds that survived, I know now saddly too late.

    I am working construction at a water treatment plant and the basins were empty all spring so a dove layed her nest in one of them when they filled it with water I came in the morning for work and her nest was gone and the eggs were floating so I scooped them out and took them home and put them in my chicken incubator one hatched yesterday the other I am kind of losing hope on
