Albino Fawn

[Trees Gray]

This was e-mailed to me this morning, and I thought I would share it with you. It has nothing to do with pigeons, but it is just too cute to pass up sharing.

Pass this around, a lot of folks have never and will never see even a picture of an Albino deer fawn......

Teresa, that's such an unusual story and unusual pictures. As I viewed the pics, I was thinking....red-eye...even though I'd just read pink nose, eyes, ears and hooves. It was just so hard to believe my eyes. Very pretty little fawn, such a shame that it was separated from it's mom, but lucky to have been found by these folks who have an understanding of how these things work. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Treesa

I just love these pictures. A friend e-mailed the first one to me last week but I still don't have enough computer savvy to transfer it.

We actually have an albino deer in our neighborhood. I have yet to see it but some neighbors about 1/4 mile from us see it pretty often. A nearby town also had an albino that people fell in love with and tried to protect as much as possible but sadly, it was hit by a car and died. They actually built a gazeebo type structure, had the deer mounted and kept there.

About 3 years ago we went to a fellow rehabbers house to get a cage and in addition to her caring for songbirds she also rehabs deer. She had the cutest little deer at her house that day. I just couldn't believe how tiny he was. She kept him in her living room where it was quiet and lighting a little dim and he had selected underneath one of her end tables as his cubby hole. He would come out from underneath and socialize a bit and then run back under it. She let me feed him with a baby bottle which was great fun but she had the worst of the deal. When you feed a baby deer you have to immediately wipe their little butts to stimulate them to go to the bathroom. She did it like a pro, using a trashcan and wiped away while he pooped. He was so cute.
She raises them and then takes them to a farm with lots of woods and other deer and releases them there. I believe she said she had released three others and they seem to recognize her.

I saw an albino fawn and doe in a NY travel magazine once. They were gazing near a military base. But interesting photos I also saw anm Albino elk on the animal planet channel a few years ago

I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I just couldn't beilieve how unusual this tiny little deer looked.


Maggie,

I'm not good at that computer stuff either, I just downloaded the picture to my picture file, and then uploaded them on manage attachments , it was easy cause they were under 100KB, which mine aren't. So it is easier to upload other people's pictures then my own. LOL

BirdDogg10,

I saw that Albino elk too, on the Animal planet, just amazing...
