Turtle Doves on my Deck!!!!

I have turtle doves living on my deck...They've been there for the last few days. My parents want to get rid of them b/c they are pests and are popping everywhere. The worst part is that the one looks like she might be pregnant and my grandma told us that if she builds a nest there and lays an eggs they will never leave and get vicious and attack if humans go near their nests... I fought to help get rid of them in the most humane and un-violent way but I couldn't find anything online to help... Does anyone have any experience in this or any suggestions???/ Thanks fellow mylotters :)

Yes I think you could take it out, and return to the wild. Yes maybe with some sort of stick or other tool. But do not hit. just move it. I hope they do not bother you anymore.

There's a spray sold called bird repellent, I'd try that if I were you. If that doesn't work, try getting a dog or cat out there to scare them away. That's all I can think of :/ Hope it helps.
