Dove picking up habits?

[PoultryLoverandfarmer]

So my ring-necked dove has been picking up some strange habits. I keep her with the quails with her own little perch and they get along fine, but I noticed that she started picking up some behaviors that the quails usually do. When she’s eating food she will peck at the others and they will move out of her way, then she starts to scratch around like they do too. She also started sticking to the quail food other than the special dove food I get for her. Is this bad that she is picking up habits from the quails or will she be fine? Or do I need to step in and stop this? Note: I am getting her her own big cage for Christmas and maybe A companion. So she won’t be staying with the quails for the rest of her life.

I would say that she will be fine till christmas. Its prob just getting lonely an dtrying to fit in with the other quail. Does this help?

Yes thank you very much. I’m still learning my knowledge with doves.
