Harrison's Juvenile Handfeeding Formula is the recommended diet for Doves. All thge diet's ingredients can be divided by weight into two equal halves, or into thirds for the convenience and storage for those who recieve a fewer number of birds. Too much water will dilute the nutrients so it is recommended that you follow the formula carefully. The thickening of the prepared diet is most often due to water evaporation in the freeezer. Always store prepared freezer diets in freezer bags, dated and labeled.
