Cool! But personally, everyone's experiences will be different, so what works for you may not apply to me. So, I think the best way to find out for myself just how vocal they are, is to keep them.

Hope this inspires!
 
When stressed out of percieved territory, some doves seen very quiet.. some sick as well.
Listen to their cooing from sun up to sun down on loud for a week. I found soothing background noise, but many that had found annoying messy etc n end up mistreating them. Six two dozen Pigeons are about as noisy if that as two guessing ring neck-collard-tia laughing doves.. diamond doves and zebra doves I don't remember as had limited experience with.

What do you mean?
 
Many animals will not do normal behavior, or stay quiet seeming calm as try to hide sickness. Ringnecks are extremely territorial and need lot of room if you have more than male female pair. If there are cages full that are quiet, they are stressed from shock of brought out of home etc. Not saying they were treated bad at all, just that they are not normally silent at all as my show stock various color morph ringnecks were never quiet even when caged covered etc. It's interesting sound but a healthy male will do from sun up to down and lot longer, when he isn't eating drinking sleeping. That's all ringmecks are basically bred for over thousands of years of siblings mated together to just produce look colors sounds and to breed more, in cockatiel cage per pair at most usually.

Interesting! But I've never had doves before, and I live in suburbia.

Thanks, but what do you mean by that they're louder than that? Budgies louder than doves, or doves louder than budgies? And also, I've been to several swap-meets where they had doves and they were quiet in their cages.

Doves are louder than Budgies. Also they tend to vocalize more often. My guess is that the doves at the swap meet are quiet because they are not on their home territory. I've had ringneck doves for over 20 years and I would not call them quiet. I do think of the cooing as background noise, however, and I enjoy it. One pair of doves in your backyard should not bother the neighbors as long as they are not right under someones bedroom window. I wouldn't think that the cage you show in the pictures would be safe from a predator such as a raccoon, however, so you might want to keep them inside anyway.

I'm always deciding if quails or doves are better for me... I like them both! And since I haven't kept doves in my life, it's a hard decision!

We have peafowl, ringneck doves will not be a problem.

Okay, cool! But I've never had peafowl before, and I'm having a hard time to pick quails or doves/pigeons! We have quails, but not columbiforms (pigeons/doves), and I'm planning on getting some. The quails seem to have a somewhat high mortality rate.
