Puberty recently hit 5-month old Gibson, my ringneck dove, like the proverbial truck. All of a sudden he's been alternately preening and pecking at me, and now he's started, to put it bluntly, humping my hands. His body feathers poof out, he raises and flutters his wings, and he pretty much twerks. No physical contact, thought. It's pretty funny, except when I'm trying to type. When he get annoying I put him back in his cage and he hoots at me a bit, but he doesn't seem to be freaking out. Otherwise I let him free fly around the room when I'm there to supervise. He's my only dove, as doves aren't easy to come by here, or else I'd try to get him a friend.
My question is - is this a seasonal thing with doves, or is he going to keep it up constantly?
