Perkutut


I had the honor of trying to save the life of Perkutut, a zebra dove, orphaned in Maui, Hawaii. She was really a loving dove, always cuddling and cooing. I've rescued a few other wild birds when I was younger, mostly sparrows, but none compares to Perkutut. Here are a few of her pictures. Even though I only knew her for a few days, she will always remain with me. RIP Perkutut.

RIP dear Perkutut.
I am so sorry she had to leave us so soon. Those little doves are so special and such darlings.

I'm so sorry. It doesn't take long fora baby bird to attach to our heart. I really understand how devastated you are feeling.

I'm so sorry to hear about Perkatut. It is very heartbreaking to lose any creature, even if you had been together just a short time. It's definitely the quality and not the quantity in such cases. Take comfort that you were able to care for her and love her and give her a safe, warm home during her last days.

What an adorable little dove! I'm so sorry she had to go so soon. It's clear that she'll never be forgotten. Fly free, little Perkutut!
