I found a turtle dove hit by a car and its legs arent moving. What do i do?

Answer 1

Its best just to keep it in a warm spot and give it some seeds and water make shur its in a quiet room and cover the box or cage half way with a towl.

Phone an animal wild life centre ASAP so they can heal its legs and hopefuly set it free OR you can get it too a vet and have its legs checked out and hopefuly fixed.

Good luck.

Answer 2

You might try wrapping the bird in a soft cloth of some sort and taking it to the vet- but I don't know many who will handle wild birds. Otherwise, you could consider moving it to a safer place to either recover from its shock or die in peace.

I'm sorry I don't have any better news for you- but it sounds like your turtle dove might have injury to its spine.
