Re: two RFI on ill bird



Hi, Cathy.  You're probably thinking of trichomoniasis.  It's a microbial
parasite that infects doves at high rates, with the symptoms you describe.
Any bird can contract it, but ground feeders, and in particular doves, seem
most prone to it.  I'll email an excellent rehabber I know in GA to see who
she recommends in your area, and I'll ask her to contact you.
