Poor birdie! Sounds like it will die a slow and painful death.  Would it be possible for you or your friend to take it to a vet as it sounds like it should be humanely put to sleep. |

Aww, the poor thing. Is it still around? Maybe if you could catch it you should take it to the vets to be put to sleep. But you never know, it may heal. Birds can be pretty tough. You saying about the other doves huddling around it reminded me of a pair of pheasants I saw a couple of months ago... the male had been run over and was squashed to the road and the poor hen was stood next to him nudging him, obviously trying to get him to wake up. I stopped and shooed her out of the road but she came back as soon as I got back in the car. I had to get out and pick up the male bird and throw him over the hedge. Not very dignified but at least the hen wasn't in the road then. I feel so bad when animals are suffering and I can't help  |

Oh, well hopefully if it's able to fly with a head wound, it can't be too bad. Maybe it's just bled a lot and looks worse than it really is. Fingers crossed for it!!
