dove behavior

Hi peeps, I'm new to the diamond dove/bird game and I have a question. Starback (our dove) has been folding his wings weird and when I went to check them today he flew out of his cage and on to the ceiling fan (which he loves) then he promptly fanned out his tail feathers and, while cooing...

My 5 month old dove is always flying into walls. He has a large room to fly around in and spends most of his time out of the cage. Here are some things he does... He flies a bit crooked, like his body is bent when flying and will fly into a wall and tumble to the ground If he flies too fast or...

This winter I took in a ringneck dove who was raised as a pet. No idea how old he is, or anything about his past except that he was "surrendered" by the lady who owned him before. Now that the weather has warmed up, I'd like to put him in the aviary with my other doves. I have been introducing...
