I was told by a fellow rescue that doves will die if it gets below 60° ?

I just adopted two doves and I need to know if they will die if it gets below 60° I heard it depends on the breed

Are these guys white pigeons (release doves) or white ring necked doves

no, they can handle that just fine, as long as there isn't a draft. and They are ringneck doves, if that helps!

@nchls school can help you more if needed!

That maybe true. My question would be are you sure death was caused by the cold?
I live in Canada I have white homing pigeons (descendants of the Rock Dove) I am subject to -40º weather. Long story short my birds live in an uninsulated baby barns. My adult birds are acclimatized and thrive well in these temperature.

Backyard pigeons has told you correctly. Ringnecks are quite hardy. I used to live in WI and kept the dove outside in unheated pens.
