Fledglings: From the time they hatch, doves leave the nest at about 11 or 12 days old. When they begin to self-regulate their body temperature, the parents no longer brood them at night. If a baby is reluctant to leave the nest after 12 days, the parents will often keep watch nearby but refuse to feed it.

Goslings learn to fly between 2-3 months of age. For the first year of their lives, they stay with their parents, and will follow their parents during their first migration before forming into groups with other young geese. When a goose feels threatened, it will stretch out its neck and honk loudly.

Most of the year, they stay under 500 feet. During migration, though, birds gain altitude, and many species fly at 2,000 to 5,000 feet or higher, using prevailing winds to assist them. A bird may begin migration at about 5,000 feet and slowly climb to 20,000 feet. Birds can fly higher as they become lighter.

3-9 months: I've found that the older infant stage is just a great age to fly. The biggest challenge at this stage is for first time parents who are still just figuring out how to be parents.

Abandonment. Exercise caution while nest-watching, as doves are flighty birds. They may abandon both eggs and nestlings if they feel threatened by predators -- or curious humans -- and look for a new nesting site. Additionally, doves may abandon the nest if it's attacked by biting insects like ants, mice or lice.
