oday I found and very old and abandoned nest in our very large Lilac bush. It is oval in shape and measures 5″ long, 3 1/2″ high on one side and 2 1/ 2″ on the other side, and about 2 1/2″ wide. It seems to be made mostly out of mud with root-like material on the outside. Your expertise help is very much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Sincerely Marlene
I found a small mourning dove it was on the ground hurt and about to be eaten by a cat the bird had mostly the adult feather but there is few from the young feather I took it home cleaned the injured part and put betadine on it for 5 days when she came at first she wouldn’t eat so we cave here food by a syringe and she couldn’t fly good, but after two days she started eating rice grains and I would still give her water by syringe I have been training her to fly now after 8 days she can fly nicely some times she stands over high places but she doesn’t come down unless I get her down is it because she likes it there or because she can’t come down yet? She doesn’t go to eat unless I take her to where the food is and she doesn’t drink water unless by a syringe is it okay to do that? and when exactly can I let her go?

Sounds like it could be a Robin.

Let her go immediately. The longer you keep her and feed her, the less likely she is to adapt to the wild.
Hello Master, do gray geese and Scania produce fertile offspring? Thank you
I do not know what Scania are
The Scania Goose (Swedish: Skånegås) is a breed of domestic geese originating in Scania in Sweden.
Then I think so
