ON October 11, I found a dove with a broken wing. We kept it overnight and fed it seed and water.
I tried to contact the RSPCA on a local number. After 15 minutes with no reply, not even an answerphone, I tried head office. I got a reply – a 10-minute message pleading for funds. I was paying for the call!
In the end, my daughter took the bird to a vet – her time and petrol.
Another charity that I will cease to support.
If the dove had been bigger, I would have put it in a casserole!
