I love the racket parrots make. But, I have neighbors that live on the level below mine, so I am considering a more quiet bird. Doing the necessary research.
@@blakebermuda9613 i own 8 pairs of conures so yes i agree not a nice sound but their crazy silly daft personalitys make up for it the conure madness noise barely lasts more than minutes unless you have sun conures! 🤣🙌
Weird, my dove only makes sounds like that (not nonstop like him) when she's distressed. For example when a large bird flies by her window or if she isn't feeling well she'll whine.
He has calmed down so much after raising a set of young. I think he just wanted to be a father. I move my doves outside in the summer and he is happy as can be now. Thanks for the comment and have a great weekend.
Stay away... They are better without you specially that light and dirty area... They make nests on a tree, live on a tree,sleep on a tree... They are very timid birds please do not torture them
That whining is more on the lines of desperately trying to find it's flock because there in a new area where they don't recognize anything so they are scared so it better to let them adjust to their new surroundings before handling them. I have 16 Ringneck doves and two of them are sleeping on me at this moment January 26,2018 5:55pm. I'm marking it lol. One is about 3 weeks old and the other just turned 2 months today. They are very vocal and social birds mine greet me very time I walk in the bird room. I just wish my 9 other birds would come greet me lol oh well .
one of my birds did that after flying just short little hops. same thing hoping around and not looking distressed, but making that noise especially after flying. she passed away at 3 years old (young), we figure she had some sort of a lung or heart condition. i would discourage flying, i hope yours is ok
I have a morning dove I’m trying to heal. He or she, was knocked down in a storm, and the dog got it. I rescued it, but not before she lost all her tail feathers. My kid yelled at me the dog had a bird, and this was late at night. I quickly saved the dog, then washed it, put tumeric in all the scrapes and any cuts. Luckily no major punctures, but the toll on this juvenile dove’s feathers was bad. It seems better, and I can get it to actively drink water, but food is the issue. I have chickens so I have the food from them.
My ringneck has never made this noise before. I don't know her actual sex, but she coos, laughs, and makes a cough/barking noise when she's angry. Never a baby cry though.
HI Dave. I see your video was uploaded over a year ago. I have almost 20 years experience with doves. I had one that cried but once I got her a mate she cooed and laughed. Your dove is definitely distressed. How is your bird doing now?
They certainly like to have a companion. My males would not shut up until I got a female. The issue with a pair is they don't stop breeding and you end up with a lot of birds that can be difficult to get rid of. I had good luck keeping two females together. They seems more content and quiet.
I rescued a young dove after it was attacked by dogs. She had cuts and no feathers on One Wing or tail. She allowed me to bathe her and put medication on her wounds. Her legs were strong. I play these videos on UA-cam and now she's talkin finally. I live in Arkansas in the winter is really mild right now but I don't know if she should be let go until spring. I have a 20-foot ceiling Log Cabin that she flies loose. Her strength is very good now and all her feathers are back. She'll sit next to me to watch UA-cam. I wish I knew if it was okay to let her go this time of year. I just want the best for her. Thank you for any suggestions that you can help me with.
Please someone i need your help my ring neck dove was attacked by a cat 2 days ago and he was wounded on the back(between his wings).the wound isnt deep but it covers like 2×2cm square. and since then he didnt eat a single wheat.I tried to handfeed him but after a while he started to vomit and all the food i forced him to eat was out(i fed him some boiled non oiled rice too)😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭and now he even doesnt drink his water.i cant even take him to the vet for all of them are closed cuz of this covid19 problme. Anyone please i dont know whatto do and he is going to die😭😭😭😭😭
Bigger the better. This one is 3 by 3 by 3 ft. I keep my doves in a outdoor enclosure during the summer. You might see it in my other videos. Make sure you always give your dove exercise and time out of the cage.
Hi Dave, four months ago, I got 3 rescued ringneck doves (4-7 yrs old). Now I have 8 in total after two sets of births. How do you control the population? I love them so much, but I am forced to take their eggs out to control the birth rate. I feel so sorry for them...
I ran into the same problem. I was tossing the eggs but felt bad when the parents were looking for them. I bought some small wooden eggs at the craft store and replaced the real ones with wooden ones but they just laid more. If you separate the male he we cry and coo all day long and drive you nuts. I kept mine outside for 7-8 months and let them breed but I don't want more then two in the house because of the dander they produce is bad for your lungs. I think tossing the eggs is the only solution.
Dave Sherva 7-8 month outside in MN? I am in MA. When the temp drops to 50 degree, I move them inside the basement with a grow light. What do you think the lowest degree they can sustain?
At least they don't scream like parrots...
I totally agree, I have a friend with a macaw and as soon as you walk out of the room the bird starts screaming. It's brutal.
Ever wake up to the scream of a conure? God, it’s the bane of my existence...

Beautiful birds. My dove passed away last June. He was 21. I really miss him.
scheis123 My male ring neck passed away this last May, he was 21 as well. Miss him everyday.
scheis123 I'm very sorry
My ring neck had to be put down yesterday...
HOW DO THEY GET THAT OLD?
I got 2 and I was wondering the average amount of years they a live
I’m a dove lover and I haven’t heard a dove crying like a baby. Doves are so lovable there’s just heaven for me 😍😍😍😭😍
THIS is what it sounds like... When doves cry.
Weird, my dove only makes sounds like that (not nonstop like him) when she's distressed. For example when a large bird flies by her window or if she isn't feeling well she'll whine.

You have a great voice……
I've never had a dove make that sound. Of course I also don't poke them with sticks or stick a phone in their faces.
Stay away... They are better without you specially that light and dirty area... They make nests on a tree, live on a tree,sleep on a tree... They are very timid birds please do not torture them

Thanks for the great comment. You are right he did eventually calm down and now he is relaxed. It did take about 2 weeks though.
Dave Sherva you are very welcome they are very sweet though and absolutely adorable I love there laugh.
awww 2 doves being together! what lovebirds
The white one is like "What you whining about?" 😂

Did she started eating?
I have a splash ringneck named Fawkes, she is very sweet! I live in Illinois and I let her out on my sun porch in the summer

He is happy and in love. I didn't take long for him to calm down. Thanks for the comment.
I am so happy to hear that. Thanks for the update.
i love your channel c:
Why does my dove slap me with his wings?
I don't know much but it means that the dove is basically saying to leave it alone
He's scared. That's his defense is to slap his wings at a threat. They don't bite like a parakeet or lovebird would.
Is it true that they need a mate? We recently bought a female and it’s seems like all she does is coo and squawk

@@rochellereeid6408 no sadly he pased away 2_3 days later☹
What would you say is an ideal cage size for 1 ring neck?
Bigger the better. This one is 3 by 3 by 3 ft. I keep my doves in a outdoor enclosure during the summer. You might see it in my other videos. Make sure you always give your dove exercise and time out of the cage.
Dave Sherva alright, thank you!

I brought mine inside in late October when the temps dipped below the 50 F mark as well. I'm with you and think the 50 F is about max.
Dave Sherva so you only bring 2 inside and let the rest outside? Aren’t they going to die for sure over the winter?
@@hobbyfarmer1452 I bring all the doves inside for the winter. Only my pigeons stay out the winter.
