help with a dove

Posted 303 days ago

I heard a loud thud this morning only to find a dove had hit the window, I knew it would be a bit stunned after 10 min still wouldn't move, so i bought it inside when it flaps its winds only 1 is operational so i guess its damaged. what do i do now? what does it eat? it how can i make him/her comfortable?

It might need a trip to the vets. I remember one of my budgies flew into our ceiling fan once and broke it's leg - the poor little darling needed to be put in a splint for a few weeks till the leg had a chance to heal.

I'd check with the vet first to see what his policy is in treating an injured wild animal.

Sorry I'm so late to answer your post. You could call W.I.R.E.S or a wildlife carer in your area.
