Answer
Well if their mother has abandoned the nest and you want them to survive, you will have to take them in and feed them baby bird hand-feeding formula, and then wean them to pellets, or a pellet seed mixture.

This is a great site for raising and caring for doves (just cut and paste the link into your browser:

However if you take them in, they will not able to return to the wild and you will have two pet doves!
