Frosty was hatched during the Christmas Season. Doves are members of the pigeon family. They are natives to Asia and South America. Many major religions place a significance upon doves.
Doves are also sacred symbols for many persons in various other world faith systems.
The United Nations has also recognized the white dove as a universal symbol of peace ever since it's organization in the 1950's. Since then I have bred well over 100 birds from the original 4. The feather dander in concentration can pose serious risks to respiratory health. If you have a large breeding operation, such as I do, build your birds a heated barn outside. My doves eggs take about two or three weeks to hatch.
