How can I move a morning dove nest?

Question

A morning dove made a nest in my hanging plant basket. There are 2 hatched babies and I need to move the plant due to construction. Is it possible to hang the plant with the nest about 5-10 feet away and still have the mother go back to its babies?

wow thats a tuff one, im inclined to say no since(with most animals) possibly if the bird smells human scent it will prolly kill the offspring, I hope tht I am way wrong in this so please you sound like a kind person so take a moment to consult the local zoo or bird scantuary and ask them... thanks for being HUMANE~
