Today I found a baby spotted dove sitting on my doorstep. It seems to have most of it's flight feathers and can kind of flap around a bit but can't fly properly yet.
I'm not sure what to do with it. It doesn't seem old enough to be able to find it's own food.
Should I just leave it somewhere? I know what tree it came from (the doves often nest in it) but it would be impossible for me to get up there.
I'm tempted to try and rear it myself and then let it go when the time comes. I know it's not a native species so I can understand if this would be the wrong thing to do.
Any suggestions? I feel a bit sorry for it.
