It belongs to a mourning dove and currently contains 2 eggs. The bike is on a balcony to my apartment in suburban Maryland. Has anybody seen a nest in a more ridiculous place? Also, does anyone have advice concerning how best to move this nest off my bicycle? Ideally, I'd like to end up having the nest stay on my porch & not be abandoned by the parents. Is there any way to do this and still use my bike this spring?
