There are a lot of positive reviews about doves on the Internet!
Dove is a bird of peace, it does not scream, does not bite, does not litter, it’s easily tamed.
We bought from the breeder two chicks, 2-3 months of age ...
They lived in a large enclosure, along with other doves and cockatiel parrots.
We’ve got a spacious cage which is remained after our Senegal parrot Prosha of size 52 mm * 52 mm * 150 mm.
I want to tell in particular about the adaptation of the doves in the apartment!
The birds did not eat and did not drink on the first day! We’re very surprised! How can it sit on a feeding trough and not eat? We called to the breeder and she advised to put food on the bottom of the cage, and put some water on the bottom too! And, what a wonder, the birds began to eat and drink! They got used to a feeding trough and a drinking bowl in 7 days!
They went to bathing on the second day and got bathed immediately together in the same bathing! Birds do not go to the hands, and peck grains from the hands or from the lid. The voice of the white pigeon is very beautiful! It screams cuckoo-cuckoo and laughs out loud! The beige dove has a quiet voice, not expressive.
It was very difficult to train the birds to fly out and return to the cage, they learned this in a month!
There are a lot of articles on the Internet about feeding the doves! But they only peck grains, swallow pebbles for birds, gnaw a crayon! The cottage cheese, egg, grated apple, carrot, lettuce, porridge are completely ignored!
Now I want to tell about the unpleasant! I noticed flea on the tails of doves!
The birds were handled by me with a special drug purchased in a veterinary pharmacy! The fleas have disappeared!
At first time, our doves lived peacefully! They ate together, walked one after another, when they walked outside the cage, slept in the cage on the same perch ...
Two months later, the chicks grew up and began to sort things out, that is, to fight! As a result, the white egyptian laughing dove the pieces from the beak at the beige dove in two places!
We have had to give a white dove to our friends!
The beige dove lives with us for almost 3 months, but it did not become more tame than on the first day of our acquaintance!
I did not expect such behavior from the cute birds!
If you had laughing pigeons, please share your impressions!
