This is the first link I found when I Googled "raise mourning doves" so I decided to join.
I live in an apt building with a terrace where I keep some plants in pots. I have a small tree in a pot and a mourning dove made her nest there.
I saw 2 small eggs! But one of them was I guess stillborn; the other one thrived.
However I haven't seen either of the two adults for about 2 days ... the baby is left alone!
I had some sesame seeds so I left them near him (or her?) and put some water in a small ramekin.
What should I do? I don't want to see him perish. I love animals and will break my heart if he doesn't survive.
What's the best kind of food?
Will he learn how to fly without his parent?
I hope the prognosis is good ...
Any help you all can give is most appreciated!
Thank you!
