    Question about diamond doves

    Does anyone here know if diamond doves are dusty birds? If so, are they just as dusty as pigeons or ringneck doves? I am asking if anyone knows because there is very little information about diamond doves online. I know certain parrots like cockatiels and african greys are considered powder...

    Can diamond doves from a pet store be tamed?

    I saw a video on youtube where someone actually tamed their diamond dove to fly on their hand, and to come when they called them, I guess every bird is different

    Keepers with Asthma/Allergies?

    Yes it was really bad, I couldn't breathe and it scared me, I have never had that before, and I have had parakeets too, but they never bothered me. I even had a dog and a cat and I never was like that with any of them. I have no idea why I reacted like that with the ringneck dove, especially...

    Keepers with Asthma/Allergies?

    Yes, I recently bought a white ringneck dove to keep as a pet inside my house. I found out I was very allergic to her and had to re-home her. My lungs would close up whenever I was around her. I have never had asthma before so I went to the doctor, and he told me I didn't have actual asthma...

    Can diamond doves from a pet store be tamed?

    Thank you for the information :) Did you hand feed yours when they were very young? I know hand fed cockatiels make really good pets

    Can diamond doves from a pet store be tamed?

    actually the weird thing is no, I have had diamonds in the past and they never bothered me at all, but the ringneck doves bothered my lungs - something about their dust, they are bigger and dustier than the diamonds. I don't understand it but I know I can't own ringnecks because of it.

    Can diamond doves from a pet store be tamed?

    that is very sad and disturbing. I know PETA has some videos about the suppliers for petco animals but I wasn't sure how accurate those videos were, but they were very disturbing, have you ever seen those videos?

    Can diamond doves from a pet store be tamed?

    They are very sweet looking too :) unfortunately I am allergic to ringneck doves so I am assuming I am probably allergic to pigeons because they are just as dusty. I am not sure, I have never had one though.

    Can diamond doves from a pet store be tamed?

    Oh wow, that is sad! They must be delicate birds! But I can totally understand, everytime I go to petsmart there are always big dogs barking and little kids running around, so yes that could definitely stress the doves out. The doves at the petsmart where I live seem very healthy - they don't...

    Can diamond doves from a pet store be tamed?

    aww thats too bad, maybe they are just that type of bird. I still love them though even if they are like that, but I guess if you want a more interactive bird probably choose a budgie or similar

    Can diamond doves from a pet store be tamed?

    Oh that is good to hear, what type of bird did you have that you were able to tame? Also, is Petsmart a bad place to buy a bird from? I heard they get their animals from bird/animal mills...is this true?

    Can diamond doves from a pet store be tamed?

    How hard is it to tame a diamond dove purchased from a pet store (Petsmart etc.)? The only place I can find one around where I live is at a pet store. Has anyone ever had any luck taming a diamond dove that wasn't already tame when they got it?

    Diamond dove or Cockatiel?

    Oh I didn't know that, so you mean the yellow cockatiels are mostly female?

    Diamond dove or Cockatiel?

    Thank you for replying, I am leaning more towards a diamond dove to be honest because they are smaller and less messy and more quiet. I am a little afraid if I do get a male cockatiel and he is a loud bird it may drive my husband nuts with the loud screeching, but then again not all male...

    Diamond dove or Cockatiel?

    I actually have a pretty large cage (24 x 17 inches and 34 inches tall) so I think either the diamond dove or the cockatiel would have plenty of room. I like diamond doves because they are more quiet and I believe less messy - but cockatiels are more interactive birds but are more messy and...
