it was an injured Mourning dove fledgeling. im taking care of it now and its doing great. i have a lot of experience with birds and really want to release him into the wild myself. or keep him depending on how he heals. so one day i was wondering if i need a licence in NJ? i dont want to get in trouble with the law.

Let him go in your backyard. He will always hand around for food and no-one is going to care if you have the proper license or not.

No the dove is a native bird.
Since you hand raised it it must have imprinted on you.
I would keep it as a pet If I hand reared it

don't know best place to find out is call your natural resource division some states forbid keeping any type wild animal here we aren't even allowed to care for a injured baby deer we were told to let nature take it's course

I would ask your local department of wildlife. Wild bird rehab centers can tell you what age is best to release it too.

I know for pet doves you are suppose to get a permit for some species.
