Kind person with aviary needed :)
I’ve had this lovely injured wild dove since Sunday. She’s doing really well with no obvious injuries but her right wing is a bit sore and weak. She initially had a bloody nostril and was dazed.
She attempts to fly, stretches and preens both wings happily so nothing is broken. I’m hoping a few more days rest will help but we have a dog and two cats who would love to eat her and no where safe except a boring box in the office.
Does anyone have an aviary she can recuperate in? She doesn’t have any mites and otherwise seems in perfect health, eating, drinking, etc.
If you can help I’m happy to deliver her and pick her up to release her back to her home at the Castlewold Drive duck pond.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
