you may want to say where in CA as someone may be close by that wants them.

i would love to have them but you live way to far from me

The ringnecks are in the central valley, but i am willing to deliver them personally anywhere in the state. In response to the above thread titled "WARNING FOR MEMBERS OFFERING BIRDS FOR ADOPTION", I will try to be careful and ask the appropriate questions. I don't want anything bad to happen to these birds, e.g. ceremonial releases or hunting practice etc. I would just like to see them find a good home as pets only. That is why I would like to deliver them personally - to see what kind of living conditions they might be offered. Also, I see I posted in the wrong category (they're not pigeons). Is there a way to move this thread to - other birds - for sale or adoption?

Hello from MickaCoo

Hi, PrettyBirds-

My name is Elizabeth and, by accident, I've become a pigeon and dove rescuer in Northern CA. I've received your message to Mickaboo/coo and would have been referring you here as this is the BEST place to find a home for your doves so congrats for finding it on your own. I can also help publicize them throughout the Mickaboo/coo network.

Pictures REALLY do help. Please send me pix if at all possible and some background info about the birds (back story always helps as do any details you have about age, gender, personality, living situation, etc.) and I'll get them up on our website. My email is [email protected]

Thank you for helping these birds and for being so conscientious about wanting to find them a great home AND for being willing to transport- that's HUGE!

All best to you,

If you find a home with a member here who has many posts next to their name, you can pretty much relax knowing you have a good home. Also, you could always as for references about someone from a moderator or from someone else who has been here a long time. We know each other pretty well. The only people I would be wary of are those with just a few posts here, only because we don't know them well enough yet to vouch for them. Good luck finding homes, we have A LOT of wonderful California members (don't look at me though, I'm full!! )

Doves?

I am in the process of finishing a new dove aviary...it is 16x12 floor and 8 feet tall....I currently have 24 doves and I pull eggs...most of the birds I have are rescues...pics of the new aviary are posted in the King Care-a-Van thread...Given these dimensions, I am sure I have room for 4 more if the distance and set up meet with your approval and if no one else any closer steps up....I do not SEARCH for new residents nor do I breed, but if there is a need, I try to make room and provide a good home. Let me know....

Anyone know where my friend can adopt or purchase a ring neck dove in Queens, New York

call around to pet shops.. these are caged pets and can never be released outdoor..

Thank you so much for your prompt reply ! My friend has tried all the pet shops in the areas, even asked Marc Marrone, but no one has any. Just searched NY birds for sale or adoption and no one has any Ring Neck Doves. They had them for sale in Petland Discounts several years ago for $25. I have one and he is a treasure.
