Hi fellow dove owners! I’ve had my (presumably) male ringneck dove, Malaika, for just about a month, and I was wanting to know if there are any tips to bond with him faster? I’m able to change his food, water, grit, and puppy pads in his cage mostly without him freaking out(he makes a noise that sounds like fear to me?) and I;ve gotten him to step up a few times for a few seconds, though he still seems to be afraid of my hand some. Any tips would be appreciated!
