Thanks all, we are doing our best to keep he/she safe from prowling locals and Janey it does feed well. Waits for me to put seed and bread down on the lawn with some water and then plops down...It is trying to flex the wings, but cant make it back up to the tree.....

aww im so sad, poor baby, hope you and ray get the little dove flying so he stands a chance, how could they abandon him

Poor thing hope he will be alright.

Nature can be a cruel Mother..........

I wouldn't panic....you obviously have the mothering touch and all should be well. I had exactly the same happen a couple of years ago and the parents appeared to abandon the squab to fate - and me! I did exactly as you have but I popped it into a shoe box each night and kept it in the garage and put it back out on the lawn each morning. About 4 or 5 days later I noticed one of the parents coming down to feed it...and that same day it managed to flutter back up into the big holly tree where I knew the nest was. Job done!!!
I am sure these collar doves know a sucker householder when they see one - and they were using me as a nanny!!!
Like You I dreaded the local cats coming into the garden during those days and the dogs and I kept vigil.....:>)))

You are so right Alzheimer.....Mummy has turned up......I am now surplus to requirements.......discarded yet again......tut....

Hard lines, Milky .....still...nice to know we are needed - once in a while - like all "mums" human or otherwise!!!!

hi milky im so glad to hear mum has turned up and im sure she is happy to see her baby has been looked after, you did a great job :o)

Great stuff Milky, not many would take the trouble, well done. x

Thanks Junglejen........
