We have these lace neck doves living wild in New Zealand and I found this little one outside. I've never seen one so young and its parents are no where to be seen. I spotted it yesterday and I did a double take (never having seen one so little) and this morning I found it back on the lawn and caught it easily. I was concerned it was injured as it looked pretty sleepy but it seems ok. Should it be eating independently by this age (whatever that may be)? Will it be ok if I let it go again?
Thanks for your help.
