So while driving home from work. I saw a guy in front of me mow down a bird with his car! He didn't even stop,,,! I saw the bird get hit and stumble , pulled my car over. Stopped traffic , got bird,,,hes an adult whitewing dove...wrapped him in my jacket and got him home.. he has road rash on his bum, his right wing is broken, but not a compound fracture, ..thankfully! Cleaned him up with saline, put silversulfadizine cream on his wounds, gave him metacam and SubQ fluids,,,hes off to Liberty wildlife in the morning,,,what an @$$ this guy! Hope Karma gets him..such a beautiful dove.

Oh no!! Poor wee fellow. Some people are just absolute garbage and have no respect for other earthlings.

What a lucky little dove he is that you were there to see and to help! You're so wonderful.

Good job saving him. Poor little guy. Hope he's going to be alright.
May the blue bird of happiness poop all over that driver!

He’s so cute! What a jerk that guy was to just leave. That bird is blessed that you were right there, and it’s amazing he wasn’t injured even more. Thank you for helping him.:heart:

Great job,
You can apply antibiotic on his bum till you get to liberty wild life to help prevent infection.

Makes me want to get a baseball bat and name it 'Karma'. :mad2:

Amen! And on a sharp curve of a gravel road at night. :glare:

ROTFL!

I was thinking skip that flat tire. May the bottom of his car fall off & give his butt some road rash!

@Birdbabe :angelic:
Thankfully his angel was watching over him! He's really pretty! Thank you for doing good to him!

Thank you Birdbabe! You are truley a guardian angel to these birds. I'm so glad you were there. I hope he or she will be ok!

I rescued a pigeon today too and I will start a thread about it a little later. Thank goodness the pigeon I found wasn't in as bad shape as yours. I hate that people would intentionally hurt an animal. Makes me sick!
