Dove & unknown baby bird





The baby bird is now almost fledged and is a Chaffinch, I think. Very cute. Has a bit of a mangled foot but I am working on it.


This little Dove was brought to me over a week ago - caught by a cat and bleeding badly. I immediately got it on to antibiotics and a couple of days ago, a kind vet operated on the wing as a bone was protruding out. Dove 'Lulu' has to have a month of confinement and rest and then we will see if it can fly. I hope so!

And this little baby hatchling was brought to me also caught by a cat. I've had it 2 days now and I really never ever expected it to survive. It is still very fragile but is eating quite well. I'm not sure what species it is - I think perhaps a Silvereye but I'm only guessing.

The two hedgies 'Twinkles' and 'Winkles' are doing really well.

  2. Thanks for your comment Al-Jane.. I don't know a lot about Doves but this is one is very calm, placid and sweet. I think she is young but am not sure.
