Found Baby Mourning Dove; RIP

[moosmom]

I found a baby bird when our two yard cats were taunting him. I picked him up. He was young. But as a vet tech I knew once told me, the mama is around somewhere watching. Since there was no where to put him (all pavement) out of harms way, I put him in a grassy area across the street. Within 30 minutes the baby was gone. He eventually flew on his own (I did't see any feathers sticking out of the cat's mouths, which is a good sign).

If you can find te nest, put on rubber gloves, and replace the bird back. If's that's not possible, do what I did. He'll find his way.
