I am going to call the Exec. Dir. of the NYC Audubon. The situation is deteriorating out there. People from the neighborhood are starting to catch a few and take them home. If treated well, they can be trained to be pets. But I don't know if this is the case. Thank you both "Bs": Beth and Barry!

Jenny, Is there a bird sanctuary anywhere close? Have you asked the Zoos there for help? Have you tried contacting the Audubon Society?

To: "ENTSTrees" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2009, 6:42 PM ENTS, Do you know anybody that has ever trapped dove sized birds? There are 45 ringneck doves that are roosted in trees in a small park in Queens, NYC. They were released at some event and, being doves not homing pigeons, they just flew to the nearest trees. It's horrifying. 20 have been rescued - they are the weak, injured and babies (yes, they used babies). 4 have died. They've been out there for 5 days now. They are terrified and have no idea how to fend for themselves. They will eat the seeds we put on the ground only if we are more than 20 ft. away. We have many rehabbers that will care for them. And one guy in our rescue group offered financial help. Are there people that trap birds professionally? This is beyond our capabilities as a small volunteer rescue group and there is NO SERVICE in NYC that seems to know how to help, despite press (see links). I'm sorry to post this non-tree discussion (they like roosting in the white pines - good visibility), but I'm so sick in my heart about this.
