Beautiful Sandei

A quick post to introduce you to ‘Sandei’ (Tibetan for ‘Sunday’), a gorgeous mourning dove that flew into our house Sunday while being chased by crows. 

She fell to the ground, stunned, so we watched over her for a few hours, hoping she would come around and fly off. When she didn’t, we placed her in a box with blankets and kept her safe from predators for the night.

On Monday, she was alert but not flying, so we brought her to Safe Haven Wildlife Rehabilitation in North Granby, where she’s being cared for.

I want to commend Safe Haven Wildlife Rehabilitation. They’re an excellent resource for wildlife rehab and rescue in Hartford and Tolland Counties. Operators Mike and Susan are fast to call back, know their stuff, and charge nothing. They’re smart, dedicated, compassionate people. It’s wonderful to have them nearby.

If you live in either Hartford or Tolland Connecticut county, put their number in your cell phone so you’ll have it handy in case you find a wild animal that needs help: 877-572-2666. If they don’t answer, leave a message along with your number. They’ll call back right away. Friends of the animals: bless their hearts.

I’ll be checking in on Sandei later this week.
