Tiny Hope survived the night. I worked out a method of feeding by cutting a tiny slit into a tissue and put its beak through it. It does not only serve as a bib but as soon as the beak goes through the tissue, she opens her beak and the feeding can begin. There is a long road ahead and I am not sure how we will be releasing her to the outside world, or if we ever will be able to.
We saw a laughing dove with his one wing broken or dislocated and the other without feathers. Miraculously he can still fly, so I decided not to catch him. I shall just make feeding easier. Was it the Hope’s mommy trying to defend her chick from being attacked by the much bigger Red-eyed dove? Nature can be so very cruel. We, humans are striving above this cruelty, most of us, but we still kill animals for sport and food.
