A COLLARED dove chick has found a herbal remedy following it fall out of its nest.

It has adopted the sage plant in the garden of Journal reader Mike Hallam at Downton as a new home.

Said Mike: “It was strutting around our garden until it found this half dead sage plant and decided it was the nearest thing to a nest.

“Mother and father have fed the chick now for four days and we are hoping it will soon fly the ‘sage nest’.”
