At this time I have not seen any information indicating that doves would nest inside a bird house but if anyone write in about this I will include the information here. Mourning dove babies at an age of about two weeks. This picture used with the permission of Gary Freidman Raising Young Birds Invariably people will come across baby birds that have been abandoned for one reason or another. Sometimes the baby is defective and the parents then remove the bird from the nest and other times the parents are frightened away, the baby accidentally falls out of the nest, or the whole nest falls from is original location. People that take in doves need to be warned that it is possible that the bird could be infested with external parasites such as feather lice and mites, and could also be carriers of salmonellae, a genus that includes thousands of bateria species.
Some species are infective to humans.
There are also other infectious diseases that are carried by doves that can endnager humans such as ornithosis which is spread by airborne droplets when an infected bird sneezes or coughs. Antibiotics such as tetracline are effective against this disease if caught early. If you become ill after handling doves, be sure to report the fact that you haves doves to your doctor. Young baby birds without feathers need to be kept warm. We have placed birds under a table lamp in a box lined with soft paper towel and try to keep the temperature around 94 degrees.
