We sold the villa and I told the new owners about the dove families. But when I drove by, I was sad to see that the new owners had cut down the dove tree. Oh well, perhaps my doves relocated to Richie's wreath!

Thanks Jack, Gerald, KB, Gracie and Barefoot. I've been researching these birds a little bit and it seems they brood a few times a year here in Florida and I'll have to make adjustments if I want my front door back.
It seems that it's pretty simple to build a nesting box for doves, so I'm looking into that solution and could conceal one behind the palm tree out front, so that my doves have a chance to at least nest near their familiar spot.
