I recently bought a dove from McKee's and it is an albino. I felt its pelvis, and it's sharp and rigid, it's head is round, and it has a loud laugh. But when it sings, it doesn't bow or anything. It just puts its head down and sings.

I've never heard a dove "sing" before but if he's bow cooing (cooing while bowing his body) then it's most likely a male. He also doesn't look albino to me, he looks like a standard white ringneck dove. The difference between albino ringnecks and ones that are bred to be white is that the albinos have light pink eyes. Ringneck doves naturally have a red ring around their pupils regardless of their color variation. The pelvis description also sounds like a male. They're awesome pets regardless, I have a male ringneck just like that and he's great.

Good luck!
