Hi Kim, What area do you live in? Maybe you can get in touch with a wild care center in your area or take him to an Avian vet and see if you can't bring him to wellness and release him back in your yard?  I also reccommend that you either keep you cats indoors or take down the bird feeder.   It's like an open kitchen to your cats.  Also there are health benefits to having your cats indoors as well. Others on the group may have some more information. For lots of advice and information,  I also recommend you go online to a Pigeon and Dove community at: http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/ Thanks for helping the little dove:) All My Best, ____________________________________________________________ Cheryl ________________________________ From: Kim Hannah To: Rescuesforparrots@yahoogroups.com; MickaCoo@mickaboo.org; Elizabeth@yahoo.com Sent: Thu, August 5, 2010 7:32:38 AM Subject: Re: [MickaCoo] [Rescuesforparrots] Injured Dove I moved him into a small cage I have.

My message to Kim this morning didn't copy to the list. My mistake. She's in Nashville and was in contact with a wildlife rehabber who was too busy to help at the moment. I sent the name of a wildlife rehab center close to Nashville (Walden's Puddle). If anyone has other resources . . . On Aug 5, 2010, at 12:02 PM, Cathy Kendall wrote:

Thank you for helping this dove. I assume it’s a wild Mourning dove? Can you take it to the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley (www.wcsv.org)? If not, let me know ASAP so I can pick it up and take it (if you’re here in San Jose). THIS DOVE NEEDS ANTIBIOTICS ASAP!! Cats carry Pasteurella in their saliva a bacteria that is deadly to birds. It can kill them in 48 hours from infection even if you don’t see visible wounds. It’s essential that the dove get prompt medical care.

Call me at (408) 205-3058 if you need help with the dove.
