Who raises morning doves?

[cheyfrie26]

I'm wondering how you can raise them? Any tips? Our feed supply has some. I don't know if they sell them but i'll buy a permit. Does anyone here raise them?

Are you confusing the native mourning dove with domestic ringneck doves?

Mourning doves are a federally protected migratory bird, and would require permits to own them. They wouldn't just be selling them at a feed store (not legally anyway).

Domestic doves are really common, though, most pet stores carry them, usually in the $20 ish price range.

They are probably wild tyle ringneck doves (close to the same color as mourning doves, but not quite).
