Summary[edit]
| Description |
This near-adult American mourning dove, Zenaida macroura, came to my "animal rescue facility" (also known as my house) earlier this summer. He was found in the street in Burleigh County, North Dakota, with a clearly injured wing that he held abnormally most of the time. He was also incapable of any form of flight, but very fast at walking. I nicknamed him "Doveski" (Duv·skee). I set up a temporary habitat with plenty of cover, and let him out now and then. I set up a sun-bathing area where he could also eat, drink, and swallow grit, all of which I witnessed him doing. After a few days we began flight training, as he had shown a desire to fly, but not an ability. After a week or so of building up his wing muscles and practicing direction-changing and landing, he was ready to go back in the wild. And although I say "he", there was actually no way of knowing his true sex. "He" could have been a female. |
