injured dove

Hi,

I found a injured dove in the park, I think it has a broken wing. I'm going to bring it to the vet tomorrow,but I have no idea how to take care of it. I have tried to feed it but it isn't eating and only drinking a little bit.
Any suggestions?

I don't know either, there are some sites that are about animals and injuries, but a vet might be the best place you can take it. Thank you for being so kind to animals! :praying:

Thanks for looking out for the less loved creatures. :)

Birds whom are injured have a lot of stress. Wild birds especially. The best thing you can do for it right now is place it in a dark, sheltering place like a cat carrier in a room that doesn't have a lot of light or noise. Let it calm down. It probably won't eat just yet anyway.

I would call the vet and make sure they treat wild birds, some do not. If not they can refer you.

Thank you for the suggestions <3. I don't have a cat carrier but I'll put it in a quiet room. I'll call the vet in my area to see if they treat wild birds.

I put out cat food for strays by my door; doves come and eat it too. They can probably eat a lot of different things. Keep doing what you are and nice if you take it to the vet. There are in different places organizations that also handle hurt wildlife.

A wild bird with a broken wing is probably a goner. Shock will kill it shortly. How did yours turn out?
