@@ptapigeontransportationaut912 Yes they are you halfwit they belong in the same species catagory as pigeons (Columbidae) do some research on Wikipedia if you do not know before making an untrue statement.
Doves were one of the first domesticated animals and were very useful in ancient times as messengers. Now that we dont need them we abandoned them and see them as pest.
I had a white dove once. For whatever reason, he'd fly...... An just run into the wall for no reason. He wasn't blind or anything. He was treated nicely an had a nice neat cage, food, water, love, care, a partner, and his own babies. But... Whenever he flew, he'd run into a wall, the look at me dazed an confused, as though it was my fault. I didn't put that wall their. He was a very clumsy dove. But i loved him.
Probably a male. The male ring necks are the dumbest ones. I have a male and no matter bow many times he flys into the same window every time. Not hard he just flaps against it like he's going to go somewhere. Ive had him for 2 1/2 years still hasn't learned. Ive found my male canary to be more intelligent at most times.
@@pigeonlove yup, that's correct. Someone working in a rehabilitation centre for birds told me to never feed bread to birds, because bread makes them fall very ill. I felt a bit guilty for all the years i didn't know.. 😶
pigeons bite hard especially to a dove. gotta keep the pigeon(s) and doves separate. those missing feathers on that dove looks like the work of a pigeon. looks like the dove's left eye was getting bit too because the eyelid looks pulled back.
I love doves. Currently, I've got a female wild type pied ringneck dove paired up to a male spotted turtle dove Eurasian collared dove hybrid. Also on a separate large parrot cage. I've got a young female Eurasian collared dove I rescued 6 months ago. She was only a fledgling, now she's fully grown and I plan on breeding her to a male ringneck dove.
lulzBrownie my female ringneck dove and my spotted turtle dove Eurasian collared dove hybrid male always mate. The female keeps laying all these eggs that the male refuses to help incubate. He's too wild even tho he was produced and raised in a walk in aviary. I have them both alone outdoors in a walk in aviary as well. I've checked the eggs after a few days of my female ringneck dove laying them. They're always fertile with blood vessels and veins forming inside the eggs. But the male never helps with the incubation process and my female ringneck just abandons the eggs and nest after. I really don't know what to do at the point. I've thought of just separating them for a long time till the male becomes more tame. He's already a year old and has been with me for about a year. But he's still very nervous and wild.
i have a beautiful ringneck dove also . am trying to let her sit on my hand but havn't been successful even after a week . is it difficult to do ? otherwise she likes it here .
Doves are birds of forest. They live on high trees. While pigeons live in buildings made by human and likes to live near humans. Pigeons live in temples, mosses or church's .Doves are generally found near cemeteries.
My dove was rescued from a cat. She's fine. We kept her over night just to make sure. Tried to take her back but a darn cat was watching and I couldn't leave the dove cause it would have been breakfast for the cast so I have the darn thing(she was young) she's about 4 months old. The problem I have is that she is always pulling her feathers and I don't know what to do for her. She looks healthy I haven't seen and mites so I don't know what to do. It's to cold to release her now. Help please
she's probably plucking out of boredom or attention, she's an only dove right? these birds do better with partners of their own kind if ppl can't provide them enough attention. either that or maybe she does have mites/lice u can't see or a different underlying problem with her skin or feathers, maybe see a vet. also trap cats and have animal control pick them up to rid of them
@@brendaisajiw3417 like I said, just distract them with food, you can catch them when there's a large amount of them all trying to eat at once, and they are basically climbing on top of one another to get at the food... critical mass for this is something like 10-15 birds but more is better because they'll be so busy competing for food that they won't notice you getting closer and closer... slowly... and then you have to lightning fast shoot your hand out and pin the dove to the ground (be careful not to hurt it). You have to be outside already when you throw the food, and it may take a bit of time for them to trust you enough to let their guard down enough for you to get close.
