The Carolina Wildlife Rehabilitation Center has taken in three new dovekies.
Dovekies are a new species at the center, but three of them were admitted within six hours on Sunday, two from Myrtle Beach and a third from Charleston, S.C.
Easterly storms have pushed the birds south, leaving them stranded on land.
There are still many reports of stranded birds along the Carolina coast, the center said.
Keep the bird warm, dark and quiet, and call the center’s hotline immediately if you see a dovekie along the shore.
Unfortunately, the center added that many of the birds pass away before receiving care. The prognosis of the three birds at the center is poor, but they are working to give the dovekies a second chance.
The Facebook post above reads:
One of three birds admitted within a 6 hour stretch of each other, with many calls still rolling in – most sadly passing before they could get help. Many reports of stranded birds along the Carolina Coast. Two of our birds came from Myrtle Beach, SC and a third from Charleston, SC.
Please keep your eyes out for these super tiny little pelagic sea birds. Easterly storms have pushed them south, making them very debilitated forcing them to strand on land. If you find one, DO NOT PUT IT BACK IN THE OCEAN. Please contain the bird in a box and keep it warm, dark and quiet – and contact our hotline promptly.
Their prognosis is poor, but we will try our best to give them a second chance. Such a cool species to work with!
