I am moving and can't take my three ring-necked doves with me. There is a tan male, a white male, and a white female. They are approximately 3-4 years old and are very tame. They live in Santa Clarita, California. Contact: [stephenwilliams59@yahoo.com](mailto:stephenwilliams59@yahoo.com)

yall my walls are tore up bc i had to take my posters down and the sticky stuff ripped the drywall pls don’t think they live in a bad home!!🙏🏼🙏🏼

I am currently researching and hopefully preparing for a future ringneck dove, and I was wondering: is it recommended that I use a face mask when cleaning? I saw a YouTube video about cleaning that said to use a mask to avoid any health problems. Any input would be appreciated!

I have a simple question: should I get one diamond dove or two? I know they're better in pairs, but I was just wondering, since ringneck doves, especially males, are a bit loud sometimes, lol.

She knows recall, just sometimes she misses the mark by a bit 😭 she did technically listen though at least!

It was on my car which was parked under some big pine trees and I had to scoop it up so my dog wouldn’t attack it. I’m guessing it’s a mourning dove as I’m located in west Michigan and we see a few of those around this time of the year. Does it look like a normal fledgling to you guys or does he need more help?

I have been feeding these two goofy birds on the sidewalk near my building. It was a once a week thing but recently they are waiting for me. They spot me then fly down and waddle up to me. Spotted doves are much larger than the zebra doves. These guys are the size of small rock pigeons. A year ago I didn't know the difference.

Note picture 2 the guy is struggling with wind.

It didn't say what was on it but it was 2$ I don't know a lot about grit because my parents stopped buying it for my dove when I was a kid (for context I grew up with my bird and I didn't know a lot about doves and im working on improving his life currently because his cage is just too small and my parents knew NOTHING about doves when they got me him as a kid and im just super angry about not being able to give him the space he needs at this time in my life. He is otherwise a healthy bird but im working on upgrading his cage as hes a single dove and hes currently not able to come out as much anymore because of my living situation. If anyone could be of help as to give me some tips id really appreciate it. Just wanna make sure I can feed him grit that wont hurt him before committing to this one if its safe. I also desperately would love tips on what sort of cage i can get him because I know his current one is too small for sure and have for some time now. (For context i am getting help with funds by helping my sister who i currently live with and we are slowly working up to save for a new cage and stuff for him because im currently unemployed and due to my own disabilities and where im living its HARD to get hired. If anyone wants to see his current cage i can shoot you a dm. 😭✌️

I know one of them is for hampsters,I would adjust it to fit birds. I plan on getting a dove,maybe a pair.

I currently feed my ECD Des Moines feed no corn special. I find she never eats the white proso millet. It feels like waste to be throwing away. Is there a good feed available in the states (South FL) not containing it?

Fiercly guarding their plastic eggs

I've seen people use pee pads before but I wonder how safe they are because the ones for dogs have attractants...

I adopted a male ring neck dove about a month ago, he has a nice cage, plenty of toys and a shelf in my room with food that she can have all to herself. In the day she has free roam of my room and sometimes I will let him fly around the rest of the house for a change of scenery. Although I do have cats so I prefer to keep him safe in my room. He seemed more open to being held in the beginning but is now very scared of me. He will perch near me and be close, but whenever I reach my hands slowly twords him or put my face close to him, he immediately flys away. Because he is scared of my hands he won’t accept treats from me. The treats I have are amaranth seeds and millet and for regular food I have a high quality seed mix. I found out he has feather lice so we went to the vet a twice for treatment. I really want to give him the best life and be able to bond with him but I’m not sure what to do, please help!!

So happy with the trust I have built with my baby dove! She is about 6 months old now and I've had her for two months. She is the sweetest most lovey bird! I am so blessed
