I have two recently hatched doves, one male and one female, from a Wild Type male and a Snow White female. They came out resembling their father, however, their colors are noticeably different. I hope it captures well in photos, but their coloration is warmer than the father’s and their flight...
Hey all. To start I'm a bit of a newbie to raising birds of any kind but I'm excited to get into it. I got into it when about the better part of a year ago when I saved a young mourning dove off the side of the road that was hit by a car. To my surprise the dove lived, despite not being the best...
Hello, everyone! I wanted to get some advice on treating 2 doves, each with different strange things about them. Both were just treated for lice infestation with 8in1 spray- possibly oversprayed.
Symptoms of Dove #1
Inability to roost properly without some time and extra room; if indeed unable...
I have a young dove (6 months) that is limping badly on one leg, it is slightly swollen, but no visible injury. I don't see any string or hairs wrapped around it either. I did some google searching and read that salmonellosis can cause lameness? I ordered some Medpet 4 in 1 powder hoping that...
Howdy! I have just been given an exceedingly elderly female ringneck dove, and am considering getting her a companion. She currently lives in a room containing two other cages with her mate and daughter of some years ago, but is going to be moved soon to a new home very far away. At this new...
My pigeon has multiple nodules over the beak and the surrounding the eyes. They are of variable size. It cannot fly but can walk well.Is it a pox or what? How this condition can be treated?
As you read the title you can probably assume this is my first pigeon. I saw a video on youtube about racing pigeons and was absolutely jaw dropped lol. I stood up til' 3 in the morning researching them and found a white homing pigeon for sale for $100.00. I bought it the next day haha. My plan...

Hello! I have a male Ringneck dove named Finn. I’ve had him for 4 1/2 months and he is still a little cautious around me. Up until now, he had never pecked at my hands or slapped me with his wings. His temperament is very calm, albeit he is quite wary of me still. However, last night when I went...

So i was going to get my first dove in a few months and I'm researching where to get it when I stumbled on the miniature ringneck doves on stromburg chicken. I tried to look up miniature ring necks doves and I found nothing. Does anyone know what they are ,how they act, lifespan,and experience...

Hey,
Ive been raising my dove since it hatched from it's egg, he's a month old now.
When he was still a naked chick and had fully opened his eyes, I've been introducing to everything around my home. Stuff that would and the many other creatures that would wonder around in my house, like birds...
Hi! So I was looking around for some dove eggs to incubate, however I couldn’t find any. (I understand some don’t ship it due to how fragile the eggs are) Does anyone have any Dove Eggs they can send over? We are hoping for a basically completely white ringneck dove, or I guess any white dove...
Hi everyone,
Last year two doves made a nest in one of my trees. This spring, they are back. They built a nest in a new tree because their old nest was destroyed by a squirrel...or a storm, I forget. Well, they hatched one baby dove this year And guess what?!?! The Red squirrel destroyed the...
Hello , I have a 4 month old turtle dove that I raised from a chick. It was abandoned after a horrible storm and there are no rehabbers in my area. I don't know if it's male or female. It was very easy to handle until recently. It's started pecking me aggressively and hooting when I movey hand...
Can a single dove (like a diamond, cape, or ringneck) live with a single male canary? What about a single pigeon living with a aungle male canary? I know canaries are solitary birds but people keep them in aviaries just fine.
Would the dove or pigeon be sad it didn't have a friend of the same...
A racing pigeon was hanging around our house. He came to me himself so didn't really need any capturing. I put him in my cat box and gave him grains and water. After some stress relief he ate. We contacted the owners based on the ring and they were completely not interested and even saying...
I have a pair of ringneck doves (the male I got first and then about 2 years later I got a female). They're both adult, they have mated, and they've been together for about a year now. My female has been nesting in the food bowl (I have a nesting area for them but for some reason she likes to...
