I have a 1 y/o collared dove who I've just adopted last week. I'm trying to desensitize him to pigeon pants but he won't stop picking/nibbling at it :( I don't think it's too tight/loose and he's perfectly mobile with them on but I don't know how to stop him from tugging at it. If it's that...

Hi there, I am having a hard time finding a reputable breeder, preferably in the Georgia, USA area. I am looking for a Ringneck Dove. Specifically a Tangerine or Orange. I have come across a few, but each breeder gives me a reason not to do business with them (either they are seedy, or way...

I have two baby ring-necked doves that were found in a roof gutter during a construction job, i.e., I can't put them back and hope one their parents return, and there isn't any rehabilitation centre nearby that would take them. Their eyes are open already, but they're not very mobile yet. I've...

Hello everyone I was referred here from r/WildLifeRehab because I found some kind of dove here in Wyoming. My dog had found him first and took off his back tail feathers. He can’t fly and just tried to fly and then hopped away. I currently have him in a cat kennel and a towel covering him with a...

Hi, My Diamond Dove has been going through a bit of a moult this past week and she has a wing feather that’s fully detached but stuck in her wing. She’s clearly irritated by it and it seems to be easy to remove from a glance but when i’ve tried lightly tugging the feather it won’t budge. I...

Hello everyone, My question is: if I feed a feral pigeon/dove for several months everyday, but then I have to leave for 10 days, will they die because of it? Mine is an extreme case: I’m specifically referring to an albino ringneck dove that - I strongly suppose - was raised by someone in...

Saw this dove outside my apartment a few weeks ago. It couldn't fly, didn't attack, didn't make a sound, and it wasn't drinking water. It also had a little dark red "C" on it.

Hello, Today I was lucky enough to adopt a little Diamond Dove! I am unsure about age and gender (i’m thinking it may be a female) but it is apparently aviary bred so not tame at all! Seeming I just brought her home today I understand she needs time to adjust to surroundings etc. She is...

This has happened TWICE!!! I am so mad because now I have a male dove that is sitting on eggs all by himself! The first time it was with a baby that they had, now it is one of the females! I have no idea what could be causing this, the waterer is too shallow for them to drown in. Both of the...

I have a mature female ringneck dove. Every now and then she acts alnost like she is having a seizure. She will be standing on a perch and than twist her head so her beak is pointed towards the ceiling than twist her head back down normal than twist it back up again..back and forth semi...

'Alaska', my Ash Dove, has recently lost his voice. He went from having a bright and loud coo, to a hoarse coo, to no coo at all except on the inhale, all within the span of a couple days. His laughing coo sound when he lands is now very high pitched and strained. He's behavior has not changed...

Hi Team, I have a few questions. 1. Out of the two eggs laid, is one always a female and one a male? 2. Do the two baby birds end up as mates? Thanks in advance for your input! Sarah

Hey guys I am stepping up quite a bit from a not so small, yet definitely too small cage to a quite large indoor loft for my two Senegalese Doves. Both of them are quite young (hatched around October 2021) and I wish to give them a safer and more beautiful place to enjoy their time. I got...

Hello, This morning we realized a small dove had crashed through my partner's bedroom window and was sitting on his couch. We're not sure if this happened last night while we were in another room or before-- last night we got home from a long trip and basically unloaded a couple things in his...

I have just created this account to post this. Due to the storm a young dove fell out of a nest and was found at a building site but it is too dangerous for it to stay there both due to the construction, absence of parents and its overall demeanor. When I found it it was sat in the centre of a...

Hello! I found a baby dove last friday all alone, it's been storming like crazy here and the nest most likely got destroyec (i searched everywhere) so i've been taking care of it. I've been doing tons of research on what i could feed it, i started with dog food since that's all i had mixed with...

Hi! Me and my partner want to get a pair of pet doves this spring. We live in a farily large apartment and will keep them inside, as well as on the balcony. We are college students, and of course that comes with the occasional urge to host a party. So I'm wondering, how do doves cope with...

Heya team, Long time observer, first time poster. My partner and I accidentally rescued a fledgling once upon a time and have been pigeon lovers ever since. We have recently found an injured dove. Definitely a fledgling, potentially 6 weeks old. Has most feathers except under wings. The poor...

TL;DR: I rescued an eared dove in september, and they hasn't bonded with us, so we are thinking of getting a female collared dove so they can make eachother company. I am worried though, is it a good idea? will they get along? will they fight? Hi! I'm Ro. September of this year I found a...

Hey guys I’m new when it comes to doves and pigeons and my two laughing doves (or senegal doves) are with me for exact two weeks now. They are around 5 months old an the male has developed something on his beak that makes me a little bit afraid. 2 days ago i spotted a small, black bump on his...
