Meet Sepia the Dove

Description

Earlier today, my step-father's friends texted us about an injured dove next to their house. It was about a thirty minute drive and when we got there they told us that the dove ran into their window and couldn't fly away. We thought it might have broken a wing... until we managed to catch it and examine for any injuries. Turns out that the poor dove had lost feeling in both of her legs; preventing her from pushing off the ground and flying away or walking. We talked about how we should deal with it and agreed that we would take it with us to our home -since we have a large enough cage for several doves to fit in anyway. We had already brought a cage along with us (just in case) and placed the dove gently inside and covered it with a thin blanket. When we arrived home, we took Sepia to the large cage and placed her inside of it; giving her water and bird seed (they LOVE bird seed). Although a bit weary, we managed to gain most of her trust as we helped her drink water. This turned out successful for all of us because the dove realized we were helping her and took big gulps of water and managed to drink on her own.
We hope that the leg injury is only temporary. But, unfortunately, we highly doubt that she will regain feeling of her legs. We do not know how long she will survive but we have hope for the little baby girl!
