Last summer we had a bird feeder in the front tree. Lots of birds fed from it. Unfortunately cats hid in the bushes and ambushed the doves feeding on the ground. Now we have a tall standing feeder in our fenced backyard, but the doves still hang around in the front. Is there a special feeder doves will sit in, instead of being on the ground?

You can try a hanging or pole mounted platform feeder. I cannot guarantee that the doves will still not feed from the ground occassionally as well, but it will give them a choice to get off the ground if they need to.
