Lost & Found Animals / White dove
« on: July 27, 2016, 08:40:27 AM »
Hi Everyone,
A white dove has been hanging around my yard since Thursday. My assumption is she was part of a release for a Wedding/funeral or else someone's pet at one point. She's not afraid of people and I was able to feed her out of my hand a couple of times this morning. She doesn't have a band on her foot, which I assume she would as part of a release (I think the doves would normally return to their roost for those?). My husband put up a platform for her and we're using that as a temporary feeding station, but it's only a matter of time before a hawk picks her off. Has anyone heard of someone missing a dove? I know it's a long shot, but figured I'd ask...
Thanks,
Susan
