I really respect someone who can treat these birds with as much kindness and care as you've shown here. A lot of people think doves and pigeons are throw away birds which I simply don't like at all. I love just seeing someone willing to work with these guys like this.
awwwww! lovely dovelies! I have white homing pigeons. My white breeder hen Esmeralda is so tiny, slightly bigger than a dove. odd for a homer, but she is so gorgeous. they are really really inteligent, and they make me happy.
haha That was cool. Thanks...now make that darned bed, would ya? lol j/k At least p/u all those clothes though! *snicker* It's nice to see you actually care about them as individuals:) Enjoyed your video!
cool posters u got there. by the way nice man. i will try this one. i am planning to have a dove routine for my trick, am just getting started. this video is useful thanks for posting.
I was wondering if you know how to train a dove to fly back home if you want to let it outside for a bit to stretch it's wings. When I was younger I used to have two albino doves (1 male and one female which eventually became three doves). The male dove managed to get out of his cage and was gone for like 3 or 4 days. One day I came home and he was in my backyard. He let me pick him up and put him back into his cage. Since then I've been interested in how to effectively train them to do this.
thanks for vid - how old were the doves when you first started training them? how many times each day and how long for is each training session? much appreciated cheers
i have a full grown dove i just rescued and its being kindda hard for me to even get close to him . he is very a defensive and nervous. any suggestion ?
Nice video, having 1 dove or many doves? which one is better? I think 1 dove is kinda cruel.I dont know haha. im planning to start doing dove magic now.any advice for this beginner? plz thnx
i am about to buy doves and i'm not sure. can all doves be trained to do the same thing? i want to use the doves in a performance where they fly out, come back and possibly hover (is that possible with a group of doves?) how do i train them all, just one by one? please help.
ok i have a dove and her favorite perch is on my closet door, is it ok to change a doves perching spot? becuz my dad wants me to by a perch cuz hes tired of bird crap on my floor lol
@imfaster ok one other thing, ive had it for about 2 months now and its still sorta afraid of me, i talk to it feed it and let it out all the time, yet im not having alot of luck, he is a male and i try to hold him and at times i have success but most of the time he ends up flying away untill he gets tired or finds something to land on, any advice for that?
I'm having a lot of trouble getting my doves to like me and want to be around me. I've had them for a little over a month and a half and I try to take them out of the cage but putting my hands into the cage when I'm not refilling water or food they get so skittish. so they can get some exercise and just be out of the cage. When its time to put them back into the cage they act like they're afraid of my hand or me so I know this is probably bad mommy but I grab them off of the floor so I can go on
is there a way you can calm a dove down? I've been holding it the way you showed it but when i do he squeels and tries to break out and sometimes actually pecks at my hand :/ please help!!!
with my day. Then when I get them back in their cage they both shake and face the other direction. I'm trying so hard to be a good mom and making every experience with my hands a positive one but I am failing miserably. If you can do a video or if someone reading this has some sort of an answer. PLEASE me and my doves are desperate.
Where did you get them from?could it be possible someone mistreated them in the past? Ive raised doves my entire life im sure i could help you a lot i have so much to talk about get back to me
i have fan tails and i have never trained them... they live in the home i made them (three metres up on a pole) and dont really leave the yard.. even the offspring have nested in my yard..(dunno what to do about the incest)
hahaha its ok , i can also see he's not a good magician.especially his attitude.I used to use that name for a long time. anyway i dont expect you to expose magic but i need advice on how to train doves,to take care of them like u were doing in the video. maybe food,temperature of the room,esp how to train them to use a toilet haha something like that. nway thnx for the advice.Maybe i would give u a pm for futher questions.
This is what you said and I quote ''the darker or brown the dove is the more wild'' noooo your ass is wroooong... And I bet you anything that if you release your dove outside it won't comeback on command ... :) but trust me if people can teach a diamond dove to return to them you'll get there with your albino doves!!!
Leo F. He is wrong about the color. The color doesn't matter of a bird.. its the same species. But his doves that he has had for a while would most likely come back. They stay where they know that they have food and water. With doves and pigeons there is no need to train to come back. Dave Shemara's outside aviary broke and his doves flew into the trees but came back, and they certainly weren't trained to. They'll come back as long as there is something worth coming back to.
Dude nice , I'm not hating now but next time your making a video turn your tv down all the way. cause itz distracting. i want to hear what your saying. it sounds like your competing with the tv . But in all in all one word NICE.
LISTEN everybody any dove in the world can be tamed it does not matter their species capeech okay... Note doves aren't stupid you are BLONDY !!! Any questions ask me I have ring-necks & my favorite diamond doves they the smaller species will actually perch on my hand but also YES the younger the bird the easier to be tamed...... XD!!! Doves are the beasts !!!!

Thanks for a great training session. I learned a lot and
it was most enjoyable. Great job!
Thanks for putting this up, really useful, just got 5 doves yesterday, so you've got us started on the right path. :)
awwwww! lovely dovelies! I have white homing pigeons. My white breeder hen Esmeralda is so tiny, slightly bigger than a dove. odd for a homer, but she is so gorgeous. they are really really inteligent, and they make me happy.

I am trying to teach my rescued Woodpigeon to fly before I release him. Thank you for this vid..
how'd that go
Start by teaching them to eat out of your hand, and you need homming piegions to return home.
Where do you get them?
I'm having a lot of trouble getting my doves to like me and want to be around me.

RecurveLife why would you think they are mistreated..? Doves are very skittish normally.
i have fan tails and i have never trained them... they live in the home i made them (three metres up on a pole) and dont really leave the yard.. even the offspring have nested in my yard..(dunno what to do about the incest)
hahaha its ok , i can also see he's not a good magician.especially his attitude.I used to use that name for a long time.
anyway i dont expect you to expose magic but i need advice on how to train doves,to take care of them like u were doing in the video.
maybe food,temperature of the room,esp how to train them to use a toilet haha something like that.
nway thnx for the advice.Maybe i would give u a pm for futher questions.

But in all in all one word
