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...

Hello, newbie here , my two ringneck doves that I house indoors recently hatched chicks a couple weeks ago. The chicks are learning to fly so they spray about a metric ton of sawdust into my carpet everyday. Our household is signed up to a "no junk mail" list but we still gets a bunch of random...

Hello! My girl Oona was rescued by me in 2009, so I'm not sure exactly how old she is. I keep her ion a large indoor cage with her partner, and last week I noticed she stopped flying around and perching. A couple days later she wasn't leaving the cage floor, just shuffling around using her wings...

Looking to adopt a ringneck dove, preferably female, for our lonely ringneck, Lucky. In Tacoma, WA. Any help is greatly appreciated! Matt and Evie

Howdy all! My wife and I recently adopted a handsome ringneck dove (he showed up on our front porch in January and wouldn't leave). He was pretty beat up, missing all but one tail feather and much of his chest feathers...but is in great shape now! We need to find him a friend. Anyone in...

Hello all. My roommate and I are dealing with a situation. We live in a tiny apartment, which has flooded not once, but twice. Now that spring is here, we also have carpenter ants--a lot of them. We also have two rabbits and my ringneck dove living in here with us. We've never lived in this...

Hi everyone, I was referred here after a picture I posted in the FB Dove group I frequent raised some concerns. I noticed a strange spot on my dove's beak and while one person thought it was a bruise two others have been confident it's an early sign of canker. I've attached the pictures here...

Hello everyone! I'm in need of some help! I've recently gotten into Ringneck Doves, and I'm still learning regarding their colors and mutations after coming from working with entirely different breeds. For the research I've been doing, I'm still coming up rather short and I need some assistance...

The male of my pair of ringneck doves died last month, and the surviving female is lonely. (Our neighbor's cat got in and got him, but I caught the cat before the female could be hurt. I've made sure this can't happen again.) I'm hoping to find a new companion for her. She's a rescue and not...

A few months ago I was given a box of six doves from the local animal shelter where I was volunteering :p. I currently have them flying around in an old chicken pen I had. They are very skittish, and they are not interested in any social interaction. I decided recently to try and breed them...

Hi, My ringneck has just laid an egg that was cracked coming out. Is this a concern? Seems now restless and will not stop squatting. Thanks, Isa

I posted my story here: http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/f24/aggressive-male-dove-108930.html Basically, I adopted him as a companion for my female, and it didn't work out. The person I adopted him from can't take him back. He's very cute and sweet, just not to my fragile old female. :[

Hey guys, I posted here a while back that I had adopted a female ringneck dove. She was kept alone for many years at her previous home, but it became obvious once I had her that she was lonely. Between her cooing, trying to be friends with my budgies, and what I read here about doves, I...

My recently adopted female needs a mate. She was kept single at her previous home for years, and I know that's not good, but now that she's settled in I can see how strangely she acts because of it. She is obsessed with my budgies and flies to them incessantly...she doesn't care about anything...

Hi folks! I have two female ringneck doves. They live in a large flight cage and eat Harrison's Adult Lifetime Fine pellets. Some spilling of pellets is obviously to be expected, but one of them is particularly messy when eating and a LOT of food ends up on the floor beneath the cage...

Ah, hallo again! Quick question. I've heard that Red Cell vitamins are suitable and provide most of the vitamins needed for Ringneck Doves? Here's the link to it: http://www.foyspigeonsupplies.com/vitamins-minerals/689-red-cell-16oz I'm not sure if this is suitable for Ringnecks, and please...

Hello, my dove has a small wound on her shoulder and I was told to put hydrogen peroxide as well as anti biotitic cream on it, what I wanted to know is if there's a way to help her stop pecking at her wound? She's nesting at the moment and I suppose because of this she doesn't have much to do...

A friend was moving and gave me some of his birds which included 18 Ringnecks and Eurasian Collared Doves or maybe hybrids? He originally caught 4 in his chicken pen and they mutiplyed. Four of the ones that look like Ringnecks have chest feathers that stick out away from their body and the only...
