More detail please. What is their diet? What is the bedding? What size cage for how many birds? 3 month old Cots should be just fine outside. Dogs and cats sniffing through the wire at first may cause them to freak out and stop laying for a bit....but not cause heart attacks. If quail from...

Even before you consider the floor of the new coop - Are yo located somewhere that is warm year round? Buttons should not Winter outdoors......

The other problem is that if they are mature and she has just been bred, you'll see foam. Yep - been there! lol Crows and eggs laying are for sure!

Hey to the Dove pros out there! I've read on equally adamant websites that you must not/may certainly keep Diamond Doves with finches. Long story short - I just came into posession of a female zebra finch and female Diamond. They are currently together and seem fine. Then again, it's been...

Nice pic!
