Hello everybody!
I am looking for some advice on how to teach my male ringneck dove, Milkshake, to come when called. So far, I have had him for about a month, and he is about seven months old. He will eat from my hand, perch on my finger, head, arm, etc, as well as allow me to bathe him. Cutest thing ever. He will sit in his water dish with his wings raised, waiting for me to approach and trickle water under his wings, then he will turn and let me clean his other wing. Anyhow, our relationship is good. I am hoping to teach him how to come to me when I call him by his name. I cannot whistle, and do not know of any foods he likes besides his regular food. He doesn't like most fruits, vegetables, or hard boiled eggs. I am looking for advice that will make this become a reality. Thanks!
