I just found a dove near my house it's feathers were plucked and it's tail was cut off so it couldn't fly I don't know who did this but I'm trying to take care of this dove
I have a question I just got a dove and I never see him eat or drink he always does it secretly and doesn’t eat enough and he also doesn’t coo I’m kinda curious?
Interact with him more and let him fly around put food on floor in fro t of him he will eat it in front of you be confident and do t show weakness or else your bird will not respect you or your authority.
Maybe because he/she is caged and isn't free to choose her own ma bookte. They mate for life. I just am saddened by seeing these beautiful wild birds caged. They can't fly and have their freedoms taken. I am sure you love him/her and try your best to give him everything, but your missing the most important thing he needs. It is within your power to give it to him. The other thing is he may not leave your property but only to choose a mate. So you will still have him/her.
You’re right it needs a bigger home, her big cage had just been dismantled ‘cause it began to rot. I put her in that smaller cage for the time being. Dove eat grains & seeds, other nutrients are from the pellet diet.
Yes, it is perfectly okay to feed them Wheat & Bajara, because basically doves love to eat grains & seeds. You can include pellets to the diet to add proteins, calcium, and other nutrients needed. Overall, they should be offered 50-60% bird seed,15-25% pelleted-based diet, and the rest, leafy greens, vegetables & fruits. Once a week, you can feed your dove fruits such as berries, melon, apple and kiwi.
right , it's just a section of dove care, Other parts or sections are on its way, keep in touch :) - ua-cam.com/video/BHCBOWxWLWU/v-deo.html - coming up.....
Yes they do, they may not breed if there's inadequate light. They also need sunlight to synthesize vitamin D. In the other hand, they also need darkness to have a proper sleep.
I recommend adding more variety into the diet like offering millet sprays, a budgie mix, sprouts and leafy greens

Thanks guys I will try that!
Your supposed to let birds out in ur house for it to fly around u know?
👍
Absolutely !!!!!!
That cage is WAY too small and birds should not go on an all seed diet!!! Please do more research! :,(

Both the cage and all-seed diet facts here are true- ditch them. I work for an Avian vet- so I know !
@@pibly7784 Thank you. Any suggestion would help.
I give my doves Wheat & Bajara.
Is it ok?
Should i add something more?
Yes, it is perfectly okay to feed them Wheat & Bajara, because basically doves love to eat grains & seeds. You can include pellets to the diet to add proteins, calcium, and other nutrients needed.
Overall, they should be offered 50-60% bird seed,15-25% pelleted-based diet, and the rest, leafy greens, vegetables & fruits.

Knock off the distract music. We're not here to listen to music.
What materials can we use to put on a doves nest?
Natural materials would be best for the nest, such as dead twigs, dead leaves, bark strips, dry grass, and feathers.
@@wc248 thanks
Do dove birds need sunlight to breed?
Yes they do, they may not breed if there's inadequate light. They also need sunlight to synthesize vitamin D. In the other hand, they also need darkness to have a proper sleep.
