Any Tips for Taming new Ringneck dove chick's?

[FrostyWind]

Ya so, They are suppose to hatch somewhere later down This week, probably around Thursday 13th or Saturday 15th of this Month.
But I need to know this: Since my Ringneck dove pair aren't accustom to me or anyone else, how would I be able to Tame them and especially of course The New chicks that are suppose to hatch? I know I'm not suppose to handle them when they are still new to this world and probably suppose to just wait a Month or so to be able to touch them, But how can I tame them if their parents aren't tame to me? They still panic when I'm changing the feed and water the paper for their cage, So what Do I do, I definitely want them to be tame so i can take them out of the cage and let them fly around.

Also How do I get my doves accustom to a certain whistle, They don't take food from my hand probably unless I starve them xD but there must be another way even if they aren't soo tame yet?

Since my Ringneck dove pair aren't accustom to me how would I be able to Tame First and foremost stop suppling feed 24/7. With a lot of patience I finally got my homing pigeons to come on command and eat out of my hand with the help of shelled unsalted peanuts (as a treat only) Homing pigeons are know for being aloof and very hard to tame as any pigeon fancier will tell you. I know I'm not suppose to handle them I personally handle my homing pigeon squabs almost every time I enter the loft (I do not think ringneck doves are much different) it makes banding easier and I am always on the look out for splay leg or any deformities

Also How do I get my doves accustom to a certain whistle, Pigeon fanciers only feed their birds twice a day morning and evening (only what they can eat in 15 minutes) and feed time is accompanied with a whistle or most fanciers shake a can containing grain while they provide the feed. In no time at all they soon become like Pavlov's dogs.

People always told me that I should have an unlimited supply of food for them and to not havew a certain time to feed them...Thanks for telling me the right thing...
At what age would be a good time to handle and pickup squabs, and let them get use to me, Also would the parents get mad or annoyed by me and stop feeding the chicks because of me? This info is really helping alot. Before I was told that feeding doves at a certain was wrong, It was really affective because they would fly on to my hand when I whistled... I don't know why I listened to them people, it was a stupid mistake... Thanks for telling me

People always told me that I should have an unlimited supply of food for them and to not havew a certain time to feed them...This is true if one can "NOT"commit to a regular feeding schedule 8+- hours apart. Some fanciers do provide feed to their birds with squabs 24/7 but not all with no ill effect with either method. Thanks for telling me the right thing...
At what age would be a good time to handle and pickup squabs, and let them get use to me, If the birds are first time parents a lot can go wrong with the first clutch I would wait a week if not I would handle them as soon as they hatch. Also would the parents get mad or annoyed by me I do guarantee the parents will wing slap you a peck at your hand but they get less aggressive as time goes on. Only handle one squab at a time is also a good policy. and stop feeding the chicks because of me? I have never had that problem with my homing pigeons and the two birds are genetically similar (ring neck doves and homing pigeons have been know to cross breed offspring are however mules). This info is really helping alot. Before I was told that feeding doves at a certain was wrong, It was really affective because they would fly on to my hand when I whistled... I don't know why I listened to them people, it was a stupid mistake... Thanks for telling me
You still have to use common sense and good judgement. If you notice that your family of doves are not adapting well to this new regime (this works for me with homing pigeons and fanciers I know) you might be wise to go back to the 24/7 method doves are a bit smaller than homing pigeons.
I am not an expert on ringneck doves.

Thanks for the Very helpful Information, I do have like 1 or 2 questions to ask but I guess hopefully someone can shed some light on it, Here goes:

So my male Ringneck Dove always walks about the cage frantically as though he is trying to to find a way to escape the cage even though he has eggs and wife to take care and anytime I let him out the cage he just stays still and walks sometimes, and I've noticed that he has been expelling a long lump of poo and also the female sometimes Vomits?<<<I don'y why? Their feed are always in a bowl and they sometimes always eat from it and sometimes eat the food on the ground of their cage where some of their feed lands on their feces? is That why she vomits and is that why The male releases such a long lump of poo? btw the lump of poo is like as long as one one of the little slashes on a human carpal? So I don't know if both of them are sick and might die soon (Hopefully not)....And I can't even carry them to a vet because they are too expensive just for a check up...

I've noticed that he has been expelling a long lump of poo and also the female sometimes Vomits?<<<I don'y why? I would add about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar per quart of water. It seems to help with a lot of digestive problems.
