    Dove Panicked and Flew into Wall; Wing now hanging-low and Dove is Limping

    Last night, my 1-year old female ringnecked was sitting at the base of a dim staircase (a place she has never sat before). I did not see her and walked by. She was startled, panicked, and flew into the wall once and then again. Lots of feathers were lost and she was dazed. Now (the next...

I'm sorry to say I don't know if the other eye is the same, for I haven't been able to get that view. I also don't have a picture yet, but will try to get one ASAP. I just wanted...

    Happy Update on Aggressive Male Ring-Necked Dove

    Dear Backyard Chickens, I wrote my first post a few days ago, struggling with my male ring-necked dove (7 months old, who had lived with me alone). He had been driving me crazy with nonstop cooing and aggressive behaviour towards me (his "mate"). Well, I took the risk and found him a very...

    Please help with aggressive ring-necked dove...

    Hello everyone, I am hopeful you can help me. I am a new ring-necked dove owner. I bought a baby this past March. He turned out to be a male. Our first months together were so wonderful and I love him dearly. He sleeps in a cage at night but enjoys a spacious apartment. I work at home and he...
