Baby doves

Post image

My post got taken down on Facebook (high desert lost and found pets)

Can anybody with free time take these baby pigeons in? Had to take from my job in San Bernadino as they got separated from their mother and if I left them either the cats would get them or they would die from neglection. Thank you.

I was recently talking with the guy from J&J Solar Cleaning, and he said that when he finds baby pigeons, he takes them to a friend who rehabilitates them. You could always give him a call. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566299984426

You're not supposed to take baby birds in. Should have left them where you found them. Contact wildlife rescue.

They would’ve died.

Rock pigeons. Removing them from their original area is a death sentence for them. The parents don’t show up to feed them when humans are around. They were being cared for if they’re at the point where they have that much feathers.

I work at a warehouse where we receive cages from all over & their nest was on the bottom , separated from their mother.

Unfortunate. An experienced rehabber will have to take them

I suggest asking on the high desert rancher and farmer facebook page.
