Sarahd Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hello everyone. Have just rescued a fledgling baby dove from our hairy monster of a cat. Luckily I got there just in time & other than missing some feather & missing a small piece of flesh out of the back of its neck it seems to be o.k. I think it is too weak to fly however. Being English I intend to try to help if I can. Can anybody advise me on what I can feed it - I have heard that a mixture of dog or cat biscuits softened in water & applied by a shringe to its beak is one method that should work. Also Canary seeds apparently are a safe bet. By all accounts they need very small gravel / stones to help them break up their food in the gullet.Any other suggestions?Also, is there an organisation in France, similar to the RSPCA, who could help & or treat the birds small wounds?Many thanks in advance.
