i started keeping ringneck doves 10 years ago when i was 8 i had seven, and my mom told me i wasn't allowed to let them breed, now i have more birds in more species than i can count...
this was my favorite bird, one of my first, sweetest thing, a white rescue homing pigeon broke out of his cage and killed her a few years ago, i almost strangled the darn thing when i found it.
this was my first silky, beautiful bird, i got her from the secretary of the american dove association (at the time) the same pigeon killed her as well, it took out my two best birds. After that i waited for a hawk and through the pigeon out.
one of my russian tumblers, i had to get rid of them last summer, but while i had them i loved them, they even got along with the doves. now i have alot more silkies and a few crested, i'm working on breeding both, if i get a chance i'l take some pics later
