what can i do for this dying bird?

I found a morning dove at the local park and she doesn't look so good. She appears to have something stuck in her throat. There is some blood in her mouth but not much. She can fly, but she only chooses to when it's needed. I am usually pretty good about this stuff but this time I'm stumped. I need help, fast.

Birds that are dehydrated tend to look like they had something stuck in their throat and are gasping for air.
I'm no expert but not sure what you can do for a dying bird, have had a couple of similar experiences, one lived and one died, I suggest put it in a coolish place, leave some water and hope for the best.

you are doing a good job! keep it up!
keep it warm and offer it water. if possible, take it to the vet or animal carer as soon as you can! The vet will know what to do and if the dove will live or not. I have had experiences similar and we took the animals we found to the vet.
Good luck!! i hope the dove lives!!!

be careful, wash your hands. Don't touch it. Might get bird flu or rabies.

if it's warm outside bury it with it's head sticking out.
