Buying doves in pet store?

[jesirose]

Petland purchases all of their animals from mills, I would not support them at all. They tend to lie and say it's local breeders, but it's really a pet "factory". Google Petland + Puppy Mills to find out more. Even though you're not buying a puppy, the same info applies, and I couldn't in good conscience support a company that does business that way.

I have been searching high and low for someone who sells ringneck doves! If you still have any and will ship to New Hampshire I am extremely interested. I have a single female who would like a mate.

http://truecolorsloft.webs.com/ has ringnecks. Don't know anything about them though, but something to check out.

I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE PET STORES FEED STORES IN THE NEW YORK CITY AREA HAVE BIRDS SALES IF I WERE YOU THATS WERE I WOULD START. IF THE DOVE LOOKS GOOD AND HEALTHY WHY NOT BUY IT COST ALITTLE MORE BUT YOU MAY SAVE IT FROM A UNCAREING BUYER

Your in New York, check some of the feed stores. They may know some pigeon fanciers that also have doves.

Sounds like a good deal. Do you know what color(s) they are?

 

[FireTigeris]

Well I'm in Jacksonville FL, but they are smutty white with splashes all over.

One of them is standard colored (Eurasian collard dove- self brown).

There's a guy at my feed store that breeds them in his aviary.

What you are describing sounds like Pied or Fawn/Blond Pied...
