Young Baby Dove (1 Viewer)

Hey all. I've recently found a small baby dove at our stable yard being chased by the dogs. I rescued it and its doing really well. I'm feeding it Parrot Mixture (for baby parrots) and its drinking water, everything's perfectly fine. I suspect that its a Cape Turtle Dove... but the baby is too young to be 100% sure. What are the stages of doves? This one is fluffy and has small thin yellow/white hairs. It doesn't eat on its own yet. How old would you guess this bird, and when and at what age would it be able to fly and be released into the wild??

Thanks!!
Joane :hi:
