Baby Dove Abandoned By Parents

by Terri Steele

Mr and Mrs Dovely

Mr and Mrs Dovely

We have a two mourning doves (Mr and Mrs Dovely) that have layed 4 sets of eggs in our flower box on our deck.

This time the baby dove fell out of the box onto our deck. The mother sat with it for a few hours and then flew off.

I picked up the baby with gloves and put him into a larger flower box on the deck since he was to big for for nest he was born in.

It has been 24hrs and neither parent has returned. What can I feed the baby dove if the mother/father does not return?

Baby Dove Care

Kaytee Exact is what I feed my baby doves. They love it. Keep Pigeon and dove seed in cage so they can play with it an investigate it. Make sure Exact is no warmer then 102 degrees or it can burn the babies. Depending on their age they should be feed 2-3 times a day. They do not need to be fed during the night. When feeding use a syringe and when the bird has had enough they will pull back and not open the mouth.

I found a baby dove too, because my dad is in tree debris, at first we didn't know what it was. A lady at pets mart tried to help but couldn't either. Then a customer helped, she was breeder of many animals. She said we should buy a nipple bottle and some "exact" a mixture you can feed a dove baby.
