an egg.<\/p>\n<p>After being in an incubator for about a day, the egg hatched and we had two mourning doves with a long road ahead of them.<\/p>\n<p>We started tube-feeding them with <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-carnivore\/\">EmerAid IC Carnivore<\/a> mixed with a seed-based formula to ensure they got the proper nutrients as they continued to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Once they were big enough and strong enough, we switched to seed-based formula and seeds only until they were ready to be outside eating on their own.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, alongside two other mourning doves, the patients were considered strong and self-sufficient to be released in mid-May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a nest with a baby mourning dove and an egg falls, and staff at
