Baby Dove Chick Rescue Brought up & Release WARNING! Sad ending 8(

I intervened when two collared dove parents failed to return to their nest so I took the chick inside & helped him grow so that he could be released back into the wild. Unfortunately it ended badly for the dove. 8(

[@fredaves268]

Same story. A year and a half ago I was entrusted with a young spotted dove. I raised her, she came every night to sleep on my head, even as an adult. She went outside when she wanted but always came back to eat, sleep or hatch her eggs. Two days ago she died, killed by a predator. I am also devastated. We do not measure how much happiness these birds give to us.

[@deathseedsentry9884]

I have a white winged dove, but since I also raised her by hand she has no predatory awareness. It is important to keep your domesticated animals away from the outside elements just as you would a toy dog or hamster. They can live a relatively long life if kept indoors and safe from predation.

[@KillerCrewmate2526]

Idk if mine have developed predatory awareness since because we did don’t encounter a cat for a long time but he’s scared of my snake which is a good thing and always perch very high in trees and only go on ground to seek food, I’m trying to avoid interact with my snake in front of him and I don’t have other predatory pet and my chickens help giving him life lessons, but I still keep an eye on him when he’s outside.

Oh no!!!!! I am so SO sorry that your dove is gone. You raised him very well and gave him the best life one could ever possibly imagine. You are lucky you got to experience raising your little dove baby! I know he appreciated everything you had done for him. You ensured that he was always in good hands. I learned so much from your video!

[@deezlittlethingz]

Sorry for your loss. I hope you can find comfort knowing you provided that little fella with the best possible alternative to what was in store for him. He had a short but love filled life. I just found one. Momma nested in one of my plants so I would check in on her daily. This morning the nest, mom, and eggs were gone. I found one of the babies on the ground, and a little wing from the other next to the pot. I put the baby back and waited but mom never came back. Your video is giving me so much hope, I had no idea what to do or how to feed it. I gave it kitten formula since it's what I have on hand and just ordered parrot formula that will arrive in two days. I hope I get to experience the joy that you got to experience. HUGS!!!

[@marytan7511]

Hi... Sorry for your loss. I feel the same way as TODAY I just lost the same type of bird which I rescued last Saturday. She has been with me for 5 days & on a rough journey to her recovery. She is wild & bringing her to the Vet on the 3rd day was a mistake. I shd have let her rested & heal & gain strength. Now I know that birds will die if they're too stressed. How on earth the Vet aren't aware of such?!! Anyways... I want to believe that they are in a better place now rather than being a bird. Fly Freely 🕊️

[@catchandreleaseoutdoors]

Awe. A beautiful and sad story. I am sorry for your loss. You are a good person. I know how you feel. I also raised an orphan 'white-winged" dove for several days. A storm blew it and its sibling out of a tree nest onto the ground in our yard. the sibling died. we put the baby back in the tree; but the parents never returned. So, we warmed it up, and fed it parakeet formula. My wife raises parakeets. I didn't know the sex of the bird; but he looked like the puppet "Oscar" character on Sesame Street. So I name it "Oscar". After about 3 weeks; Oscar was almost ready to fly on its own. I am an avid Dove Hunter here in TX. Realizing this was a "Migratory game" bird in TX (illegal to possess); we took it to an animal rescue near our home. the rescue place said they would get the bird ready for release. I never saw it again. I was very sad for several days after. I occasionally look at pics and videos I took of it. I just hope he/she made it. : )

[@KS-pg6ee]

Thank you for your sharing this story. I have similar experience...

[@krishnchipz]

Sorry to hear bro, this was a real cool vid

[@kiarazoccogoldenbonniegirl1641]

For ppl who don't know it yet.... If Pigeons / Doves were raised by humans, they can't be released.... They don't have the right skills for survive, and they lost fear of predators and humans... Ik this, as a Pigeon rescuer and a Pigeon Raiser, the Pigeons that I've lost during a fly, they never make an appear again... The last pigeon that I lost during a Harris Hawk's attack, I only see feathers flying on the wind... It was one of my best pigeons that I ever have... I still remember how she was... Grey like a normal Homming Pigeon, but the end of the wings are white, small white spots on the head and body, she was beautiful...

[@theseegull8257]

This exactly! Tho it can be an easy mistake for someone rescuing birds for the first time. If you do want to "release" one again, its best to leave them in an aviary or large cage in the middle of your yard for a few weeks ahead of release so they can get used to other birds and their surroundings. Rescue and release can certainly be done, but you don't want them habituated to people, as tempting as it is to have them do so.

[@CrescendoEvents]

I agree, I wish I would have known this. It was a great pet for me.

I rescued 2 little ones. Probably 2 weeks old at this point, not sure. Haven't named them yet either, in part because I haven't decided yet if I will keep them or release them (if they even survive).

[@vajeedbhai5294]

Approx 1week I watched ur video and I got scared because of how a rescued dove was killed by another. My father found a baby dove on floor, one of his/her brother was killed by the dogs as hey were trying to fly his brother jumped from balcony and got killed, we took the other dove as he was not being feed by his mother(I thought so) 26-27 march was his 1st day in our house , i feed him , he can fly and all that but as one of his leg was dislocated he puts his leg parallel to his tail, he got lack of calcium and vitamins we took him to vet medical, he was ok , got attacked by ants, saved him , he got attack by ants again, we saved him took extra extra care. But yesterday 25 April as Eid was coming we need to wash and clean our house , we took him outside of our kitchen and took him to living room's balcony to give him morning sunlight on 7am , came back from tution my mom told me to don't bring him we r cleaning then I put him under sofa of that same balcony as it has empty space and to protect from predators I and mom checked him several time till 12pm to 1pm , I was playing clash of clans but still giving him some attention, on 2pm my big brother yelled my name and told me to bring water for baby dove , I think he got attack by the adult Dove as no one was seen in CCTV of my stairs and if it was cat he would've eaten him so all I thought of the 2 adult dove who wants to make nest on that same balcony's window from past few weeks , seems they broke his spinal cord as he cant move his feet and wings , he was blinking and moving his neck after lifting and not lifting , i think he was able to me , my mom & my big brother and asking for help , my brother have him our house's water for last time . He was not like other dove he was independent and not like to touched even we cant hand feed him properly, I remember I feed him and gave medicine given by the doctor , At last I buried him in my garden were he was attacked by ants for the first time and now I give them what they want I delete the clash of clans game and took brake from social media *At last I want to tell u guys him your time to ur closest ones cause u don't know when will become ur closest memory*

To feed this dove you can put small grindered rice not powdered in your mouth and the dove will eat away the rice by itself it's so easy to feed this dove while the dove is young and can't eat by them self.

[@thomastammaro693]

Ugh. I can't imagine how much that hurt. Damn, you did him/ her awesome for a life time. 👊

[@KillerCrewmate2526]

I had many pets but bound of a raised animal by our own hands since baby is stronger unique and special, you are like their parent they love you and thrust you way more. Way much better than any pet bought. I don’t get easily attached and i don’t often cry when they dle especially if it’s not a bird, I even had an hamster someone gave me at my door when they moved and kept him until he passed out of old age and I felt *absolutely* *nothing* *at* *all* , but since i raised a bird by hands exactly like this guy, plus the fact that i already have a tiny soft spot for birds while feeling nothing for no aviary animals. raising it as baby kind of triggers my parental instincts and the fact he seems more attached and trustful towards me more than any other birds I love him back because that’s the way I get attached is by giving me a lot of affection and care, he soften my heart more than anyone did and made me more sensitive to things in life in general, just to says it must be worse than losing a pet from petstore or any other domestic animals we are supposed to have because of it being an unique experience and having an animal totally trusting in you. Because personally for me I’m pretty sure it will be harder than any animal I ever had.

[@videogames2255]

[@wladellad6358]

Hey, Bro, thank you for your heart. Sorry, what the reason of your pet' death?

[@SuperManning11]

I’m raising a dove right now! She’s awesome! I randomly assigned her a sex-picked female because she’s kind of small, but I actually have no idea. Now I’m very worried about another dove killing her. Did anyone ever give you a clue as to why something like that would happen? It is really strange how this bird has stolen my heart. I’ve never raised a bird before and this is one of the best animal experiences I’ve ever had. Also, where did you get the band that it had on? Was that for your own purpose to identify him amongst the other doves? I’m also worried about the temperature difference between outside and in. I’m raising her inside, of course, where I have a.c. running, while outside it’s over 100º and she hasn’t been acclimated to such heat, and it’s only going to get worse as we get further into summer heat here in the desert.

[@CrescendoEvents]

The other dove that killed mine was being territorial I think as I had just put seeds out on the table. Where I went wrong was trying to reintroduce it to the wild. I should have kept it as a pet, it was very happy perched inside the house, never really wanted to go out & didn’t know how to survive. Also wasn’t scared of humans. The band was from Amazon but they kept falling off but it was to recognise him in later life

Hard boiled egg blended with water, you can also add some seed in the mix. Microwave 5/10 seconds to 40 deg c so it’s warm.3 to 4 times a day. Good luck

[@8ASIMULATORS]

We just found one also, he is flapping his wings now, we think he is about 10 days old today. We got "exact hand feeding formula" by KAYTEE. Any pet store have $10 Is a powder for baby parrots, just add warm water until it gets a little runny. Get a zipbag cut a corner off to make a little hole for him to put his beak inside about 5mm wide. Get a warm paper towel ready because, he will get messi afterwards This is how we saved our little guy. Good luck. Ps: so worry now about letting him go based on this video. Very sad.

[@theseegull8257]

What 8ASIMULATORS said, don't give them only eggs. They need proper formula, especially much younger birds who usually would eat "crop milk" that their parents produce in their crops. Also, never feed them by sticking a syringe inside their beak like you would with songbirds, doves suck food up, a unique ability among the species. Use a larger syringe and let them stick their beak into it.
