Hi all,
We have three ringneck doves, two are in one cage together while the 3rd is seperate, in her own cage (because the other two seem to pick at her). All three are now fully grown but were chicks from our original mated pair (they were old & are no longer with is, unfortunatley).
The single girl lays her little eggs regularly & is quite shy, we're thinking of getting her a mate, but the pet store we originally got her parents from no longer sells doves of any kind. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place where we can get mate?
The other two seem to be very close so we've been hesitant to seperate them. We know one (don't know which one though) is definitley a female cause there are often eggs (unfertile though). We are a little bit worried if one was to be a male & they mated as they are from the same parents-inbreeding fears-any advice? How can I tell which might be a male? They are about a yr & a half old now & very friendly.
We live in Palm Bay, Florida. Thanks!
