Mourning doves nest in trees using several sticks that scarcely resemble a nest to the human eye. Occasionally they will nest in shrubbery or even more occasionally on the ground.

Rock doves [a.k.a. pigeons] nest on building structures or shelving. Their nests are substantial and may look messy or haphazard to humans. [Everywhere]

Eurasian tree doves nest in trees. Their nests, like the nest of mourning doves, appear to be flimsy but the tree dove is more likely to line their nest with grasses. [introduced to USA and spreading to Canada]

The Spotted Dove fashions twigs into a platform for its nest. They use more twigs than Mourning doves do. [Australia]

The Ruddy Ground dove builds a cupped nest out of sticks in a tree. [Texas, Mexico and points south]

All of the doves except for the Rock Dove [pigeon] suffer from eggs falling out of their nests which cause a high rate of mortality. This is offset by breeding several times a year.
