I have a ringneck dove that was shot through the wing by a BB gun. I've had it for 4 weeks. A lot of the feathers on its wing fell out however the very and two are still there but they're broken. Please see the picture to see where they're broken. I need to know where I can trim them because they are dragging and probably very uncomfortable for the bird. I just need to know how to trim them where it's okay for me to cut. Thank you for any help.

Hello Ava,

I have a ringneck dove that was shot through the wing by a BB gun.
Did you seek medical attention? (A vet visit) They will usually help trim any feathers that need cutting.
