I have a male ringneck dove rescue (age unknown) I've had for several years. His mate passed away back in December from reproductive issues (didn't know that when I got her) Despite my best efforts, I lost her around Christmas. I have finally found a potential new mate for him, except the...

I am new to the pigeon word and am looking for the right breed for me. I am looking for a breed that is calm, intelligent, fun, and overall would make a good companion. Does anyone have any suggestions?
