How did you tame it? I have a pair. I wanna tame them too

[@Goodnightmarbear]

Hi there! What are your doves names? Well, I’m not an expert, but here's my 2 cents!
1) It is harder to tame a pair because they will naturally bond with each other and not their human… The dove I kept solo bonded with me more than any other kept in pairs.
2) I tamed him by never spooking/grabbing at him.
3) Hand feeding him and had him fly to my hand before he got seed.
4) Letting him out to fly around with access in/out of his safe space of the coop.
5) I placed his favorite perch outside the coop so he would feel relaxed when perched outside.
6) I placed food in random places, like my bed, to encourage exploring.
Good luck with your feather-babies! :)

At what age did you tame them ?

[@Goodnightmarbear]

I adopted both my current doves when they were roughly a year old. By that age, it is much more difficult. The easiest time to bond is when they are fledglings, or younger! Thanks for the question :)
