Doves make only patches of sticks, and it is not likely that a nest could be moved and then set securely anywhere else. A bird's nest is often fragile itself, and placed so that there is no way to gather enough of it to keep it together, nor to anchor it again. The bird also knows how to arrive at and leave the nest even in the dark, so if it is moved, it is lost. If a nest has nestlings in it, and can be gathered and placed without wrecking it, the parents can find their babies by sound if not too far from the original location and it is still in a similar and safe place to feed and protect the babies. Many species that lose a nest, to storms or predators, can replace it, with eggs, within the season. In the US, Mourning Doves breed continually anyway, and other species such as bluebirds often have more than one brood. Some species get one chance, win or lose. Except for endangered species, and widespread problems, one nest does not affect a population.
