The mourning dove that had the large "growth" coming from the side of the face alongside a damaged or deformed beak has gotten much worse. I am pretty sure I am talking about the same bird. The bird was here nearly constantly. Yesterday when I saw it it was bleeding heavily and the beak looked like it was actually coming away from the face. It was going around in circles trying to feed but couldn't because the beak would move sideways. I tried to get close to it thinking I could maybe put it out of its misery, but I couldn't. It still flies well. I put out a variety of food, different sizes and it desperately tried to feed but no go. I think it must have been a window strike, a slow haemorrhage and a rupture. Suddenly after nearly none for some time, we are getting some pretty hard window strikes. Even with the curtains closed. I have the highlighter grid on the window, have let it get dirty and put things in it and thought it was working but the light will have changed as the sun moves. Strangely, to me, it seems they always hit the same general area of the window no matter the season. Strikes are by mainly mourning doves. Marg, in Queens http://margmillard.ca
