Dove

I picked up a dove this morning that couldn’t fly . I think it may have been struck by a car . It looks like some tail feathers are missing but has no other injuries we can see . We put it in a box with bird food and water . Any suggestions?

Hi,

The best thing to do is locate a wildlife rehabilitator that will take the bird. It may have internal injuries or may be sick. The below link will give you instructions on what to do and how to find help.
