    Oh Mare, your right to be concerned she has come so far under your care. Maybe you could call your local wildlife center? Maybe even your avian vet?

    Mare, I'm so glad to hear she's doing so much better. A vet visit would definitely help, in my humble opinion. Sometimes they can do things, sometimes they can't - but I do know from my own experience with bird injuries (when we almost lost Orsino five years ago to a horrible accident) that they have a way of compensating for abnormalities. If a bird wants to overcome an injury or a deformity, they will, and sometimes it's just best to let them figure it out on their own. That being said, if it were me, I would still see a vet to make sure that anything that could be done will be done, but if she's flying alright, eating well, and a healthy weight and has all her feathers back, I say open the door. That's my two-cents worth.

    Thanks, Alice and Jen, for your input . I could call the wildlife rescue guy but he refers all questions to the vet so, I think I will start there. Jen, I love what you said about a bird overcoming. I think little Lou has done just that.

    I would not set her free until she or he is 100 percent. You could find her medical care to see if wing is broken. Maybe needs a splint.

    Dianne, her wing isn't broken, it's a holding up wing, muscle issue? I'm not going to take her to a vet, she's healthy except for that. I did call a vet though and we both agreed that she would be taken down by a predator if she wasn't quite up to par as the other doves in a flock. We have a friend looking to get rid of some of his doves, they live in horrid living conditions. Tim says "No way, no more birds!" but he's leaving for Baja after Thanksgiving,, sooo.. . I'm bad!

    I set little dove, Lou, free today! She flew beautifully, droopy shoulder and all . Her life just wasn't a life in the aviary, every time I would have to come in to feed her she would beat herself against the side of the cage, she bloodied her nose a week ago. I decided against bringing in more doves for her and left it to chance. I took her to a beautiful area, near water, that I've seen flocks of doves around. She took right off! I'm so happy for her to finally be free and able to fly well. Even though I took a chance that she might not be capable..she did it! YAY! May she have a long, happy life

    Amen Mare! You did well by her and I'm sure she is going to be a happy little bird back out in the world living her life.

    Thanks, Alice! Her instincts never wavered the whole time she was with us, she never ever thought she might want to tame down, I have faith that she will keep herself safe
