We found an abandoned mourning dove. The nest was blown away and the squab lay helpless atop our car. This was about 10 days ago, and it responded to our feeding and is feathering out nicely. When we first got it, the beak seemed normal. It can't seem to completely close it's beak now, however...

Hi everyone, Background: I have a fledgling mourning dove. His nest was destroyed and I tried to reunite him with the mama bird with no luck. Due to the location at the time I had no option other than let him die outside (he was much smaller then) or try to rehab him myself. I have been feeding...

5 days ago my mother in laws cat went outside, and came back inside with a young mourning dove. I'm not sure the exact age, but it's not large enough or feathered enough to be a fledgling. The wings are feathered but beneath them baby still has down, and has many pin feathers on its neck and...

Percy died today Saturday December 17, 2005. I remember the day he first showed up in the back yard. The flash of white feathers caught my eye so I went outside to see what it was. There he sat … tall and proud on the corner of my roof right above where I keep the main bird feeder. He was...

Hi gang, It snowed here yesterday, in fact we got a good 3/4 of a foot. The ground is covered in a nice thick blanket of white stuff and everything looks very pretty...until I get sick of shoveling it:p Anyhoo, had to go to the feed store today for some grub for the pigeons. This place is...

Our juvenile white feral, "Serenity" has been sharing a cage with "Nina", a rescued collared dove (passed to Cynthia by the vet surgery, where someone described her/him as a 'baby pigeon' :) ). Young pigeons really seem to take to CDs as companions, and follow them around (and doubtless learn...

I had what I first thought to be a Mourning Dove arrive last Thursday evening while I was taking calls and birds for my rehabber friend. It had a nasty wing injury and though it looked somewhat like a Mourning Dove, I knew it wasn't. Turns out it was a Common Ground Dove and was a most...

Hi everyone! I do the wild bird rescue. I noticed something last year 2004, I had about 10 Mouring Doves come to me with very swollen crops. Not one of them made it though, as this has baffeled me for so long and reading the different posts I think I figured out what was going on and...

This past week a girl I go to school with gave me a pair of Diamond Doves. I was really happy because I have been wanting a pair. Once I got the chance to look them over I noticed that their tail feathers are damaged. She had them in a very small cage and it this damaged the feathers. She was...

The feral flock at the school yard, was attacked this morning. One was decapited next to the daycare I work at, the other was attacked in the middle of the huge field at the school. The poor pigeon it was one of our favorites. He looked like a dalmation. The stupid hawk ate everything but...

As I was fixing the cat's dinner I looked out the window & saw these two adorable Inca doves snuggled together. Couldn't resist getting a picture. :p Cindy ;)

I am a volunteer foster parent at my local Humane Society. About six weeks ago a woman brought in a pigeon that she said she hit with her car. Since the selter is set up for dogs and cats, I brought the pigeon home. It had lost all of its tail feathers and there was some blood but its wings...

Hi Folks, I've been using the camper shell on my old truck to feed the neighborhood birds. They love it 'cause it's right underneath a Japanese Plum Tree and they can swoop in and out of the branches and down to the seed just under the branches. There are finches, sparrows, mourning doves that...

I currently own Ringneck doves and I raise them for pets. I have raised pigeons since I was 7 years old. Now I would like to go back into pigeons again. If there are any kind people to give me a paired pigeon, I would really appreciate. It seems that there are no pigeons sold or for adoption in...

Last Sunday the neighbors brought me a box with a baby mourning dove in it. (it's well known that I'm the neighborhood wildlife rehabber) I have a cat and locked it up for the day. I put the baby dove back in the neighbor's backyard and checked on it periodically. Several hours later I...
