I have a beutiful Mourning Dove healing in my room.What should I do tell I see a vet?(it's in a cardboard box with food and water and a towel-nest.)
Answers:
Yes, take it to the vet, or a nearby animal sanctuary. It's nice that you had the heart to help save an injured animal. keep him comfortable feed him watter him sounds like so far your doing good! if he looks bored you can give him a mirror!! they love to look at themselves and think its another bird! we saved a morning dove after it fell out of its nest in a thunder storm. we took it to the vet but it ended up dieing. it was healthy but it died because it was loneley and missed its mate (who died in the storm) so be careful!! and give him a mirror or bells to play with! they really like that. My best approach in this situation would be to consult a vet. It will need to see a vet. A wing cannot heal properly unless the vet sets it after x rays. It will not be able to fly if it does not heal properly and then it won't be able to be re-released into the wild. Birds go into shock an die quickly so you may not have much time. Keep it warm until you get it to the vet.
Also, keep in mind that per Federal law it is illegal for you to possess a native wild bird species. I am pretty sure that mourning doves are a native wild bird species which means that only a licensed wildlife rehabilitator would be allowed to keep it. If it were a common pigeon which is NOT native to this country but introduced from Europe, you could keep it legally. I would call your local game commission, wildlife center, veterinary office, check phone listings, etc, to find a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area. This is best for all involved. If you’re in the US then the law prevents any non-licensed individual from keeping any native wild animal. The ones allowed to do this are licensed rehabilitators. The web site you can check for a local rehabber in your area is http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact..
