    Doves and pigeons have always been so pretty to me. I love their temperament too. I've always wanted a bird but didn't want to deal with the noise. I always found it neat that rock pigeons were the first domesticated bird too, over 5000 years ago!

    Beautiful story! SOOOO happy for you!!!!! Very well & thoughtfully said! Very realistic!!!!! Pickle & Peanut are very lucky to have you as pet owner!!!!! I wish all pets had such great owners! Not all are this fortunate! Kudos to you! Beautiful doves! Very inspirational video! Most if not, all birds poop frequently bc of their quick metabolism. (And what? Humans don't?) Big deal reg. cleaning up hard wood floors after them! Way easier than dogs! Don't have to walk them in the middle of freezing winter!!!! Great spot for play stand! Much love!!!!!!

I don't know if I should keep it or release it back . The bird has grown comfortable to the cage after staying in the room for a while she goes by in the cage without my efforts . Can doves survive alone ? Or should I get another bird to keep her company in the cage ? Please help me with this .

      Not really. They have it awesome this way or the other, in nature…. Yeah, not so much. Keyword: birds of prey.
      so what would be the alternative, if you want male and female? 2-5 times around 2 hatchlings a year? what do you do with them? euthanize them? Worse option than just crushing or eating the (yet inanimate) eggs. sell (yeah, that isn’t that easy) all hatchlings every time? Still a mess, because they have to be raised (who buys a couple day old dove hatchlings?), also selling in general really isn’t trivial… so in the end it’s just more and more doves - which is exactly what we want to avoid.
      You put fake eggs back (which is important, otherwise they get stressed out and lay more and more to counteract the stealing), they are fine, if the hatching “doesn’t work” they’re also fine.

You wouldnt understand unless some other apex predator took you and made you a pet. Buy buy freedom and the strength to survive.

    They are lovely and so is your home. I like that corner with big windows facing the backyard. You are blessed to not be doing apartment living. All live ones poop. I guess if one wants a bird that doesn't poop, it's going to be taxidermy specimen. Every 7 minutes is high pooping frequency. Lucky for us, we are 1 to 3 times a day though never enjoyable. If I could invent one thing, it'd be a toilet that sucks the air out from the rim immediately after it runs water into the bowl.

    Back in the 90's, I use to raise and breed diamond doves which are the smallest doves in the world. I've had white doves too but never tried to breed them so I'm not as familiar with them. However, it has always been my understanding that only the male coos because only the males of the diamond doves do. Correct me if I'm wrong but you stated that the white one was male and the pied one was female, yet in video the pied one was cooing. So now I'm confused. My white doves that I had never cooed so I assumed that meant they were female. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
