the mother bird will not come back to the nest, and will just leave the egg there.
If it is out of the nest, it probably isn't alive. If it is in the nest I hope you didn't touch it. Touching it will cause mama bird to leave it and it will die.
Yes a robin made a nest in a tree and I saw the robin leave and the dove stole the nest
No. You should provide materials for a captive dove to construct a nest, however.

That is not true; it is a myth.
A nest. A man-made shelter is called a cote.
The mourning dove can nest two, even three times a year. One of the few species that will nest any time of year.
nothing happens, you just touch it. Make sure there are no parents there if there are eggs. The parents are very protective of their unborn young.
You should never put anything in a bird's nest, or disturb it in any way (including touching the nest)! Everything you touch has your scent on it. the bread will be somewhat useless to the dove in/owning the nest because it will probable smell you and abandon the nest. Your best bet is to leave the bread somewhere nearby-perhaps near the ground or somewhere at least 5 feet away from the nest. Remember, a bird will abandon a nest even if you startle her!
a Baltimore Dove
No, he sits on the mothers face.
The dove either died, moved to adifferent nest, or found a mate.
