Free to adopt: Male ringneck dove needs home with mate - Colorado

[NancyJ]

I adopted a single male ringneck dove from a shelter last year. I call him "Ernie". He displays all the typical male behavior: pecks at the mirror, "courts" stuffed animals, etc. Lately Ernie has become too aggressive with my small dog and I think he would be happier in a home with other doves. I do enjoy his coos and antics, but I am tired of having to shoo him away from pecking at my dog.

If you know of a good home for him, please let me know. I live in northeast Colorado but am happy to drive a few hours if I know he will be placed in a better home for him. Posting this makes me sad, but I don't know what else to do... I am not ready to take on a second bird.
