I found a bird in Upper Montgomery County Maryland. He's thin, he was standing in the middle of the highway and he ate like crazy. Rehabber wont take due to the 2 bands he has on his feet and SPCA says he's healthy release him. He wouldn't fly for me, but he's wings are uninjured.

He's a gray rock dove, orange band and blue band.

I don't know what to do with him, he's in a cage eating, can I meet someone for this fella?

Thank you for helping this needy bird.

Do not release the bird, chances are he will get lost again/or is still sick. If he won't fly it is because he is weak and starved. Check his keel/breast bone, if it is sharp he is starved. He will need to be rehabbed for a week or two. The bird is totally dependent on you, it is used to being fed and safely housed.

Please copy the complete band number including letters and post and we will help try to locate the owner.

I can't read his band numbers and he's very thin. I have parrots (which is why I need him out of her ASAP, just in case he's sick) I can't read his bands. I can try with the orange one. But that means I must stress him again. I will check his orange band.

I am feeding him parakeet seed. I don't know what else to feed!

Why not get the band # first so the owner can be found.

Sorry for not elaberating earlier here, but I thought that I mentioned earlier that if the owner can not be found, or if the owner does not want the bird back, then I will give it a good home. I emailed kelsie65 & explained that to them. Sorry again, if I did not mention that earlier.

I think it is more important at this moment to get this bird proper care (which the member who found the bird is doing), then worry about finding the owner.

Thank you, please keep us updated on the birds condition and care.
