I didn't have time to take a photo as I was running 30 mins late :S

I picked him up & checked out his wings. they look perfect & he can move them. I looked closer to his tail & its just the 1 feather thats damaged... the rest are perfect.

However I think hes having issues with his feet. I couldn't get him to grab onto anything. he woulf just lean over a bit & sit... I think he can walk cause he was eatting as there are sunflower seeds all over the box.

I'm thinking frost bite on his feet. I'm also thinking hes a young bird cause hes really dark compaired to all the morning dove photos I looked at.

So I'm thinking hes a result from that hot weather back in Jan (remember how the trees were budding & the grass was green )... Chances are his parents mated then & because its so cold out & hes a young fella, he cannot fly perfectly yet & got frost bite on his feet... His feet do look really flakey & super dry.

I did a little test with his feet.. i put him on my finger & he nearly fell off.. he flapped his wings, but would have fallen if I wasn't ready to catch him.


So thats all the info I have for now... but he seemed to really enjoy being cuddled. I scared him & he flapped his wings making that cool noise... I held him close & he closed his eyes awwwww... hes so sweet... I'm gonna name him Coo cause it works for male & female & fits him lol
