Mourning Dove breast torn open, had it's innards exposed.

2010 - When I walked near, she didn't move. I threw some seeds, she didn't move. Threw more, they hit her, she didn't move, something wrong.  After a bit she started walking toward the street. Tried to fly but couldn't, so I herded her into the grass, caught her with a fish net.

.

Then I discovered what was wrong. Just a baby, badly injured and weak. Her breast had been torn open exposing her innards. I got her some water, Very thirsty, extremely thirsty, dehydrated, she perked up immediately but wouldn't eat. She was still bleeding a bit. I cleaned her up and she seemed like she'd survive. Should have stitches, but I will watch her, should be ok? 

Doing pretty good now, healing well, new skin even some new feathers on her belly  As soon as she's old enough to fly and then in a few days after when healed enough, I'll let her go.

Just before release... She was very Very healthy, fully feathered, and anxious to be free.(VIDEO)

Good luck little bird. Come back and visit someday  (VIDEO). 

(the Chicken wire was temporary)

Good news, she DID come back and visit... I'm sure it was her ~:<)
