    Hi all! I've had a single male dove since he was weaned, but now that he's mature, he's been looking for a mate. His name is Henry. I adopted a female dove from a rescue thinking it would help reduce his need to flirt with me. Problem is, she's 10 years old and just recently lost her mate. I...

    We live on a canal off the inter-coastal waterway in Florida. There is a colony of collared doves (I believe) living under the dock in our backyard. I need to remove them. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how this could be done safely?
