I tried to give her fake eggs but she wasn’t a fan of them, normally whenever she would lay her eggs I would just remove them and give her the fake ones but she would never really pay any attention to them. This time I decided to leave the egg she layed a few days ago and it seems to work she’s been laying on her egg for about 3 days now I still feed her and then bring her back so she can lay on her egg, hopefully this slows down the egg process just alone last month she layed 4 eggs in total which can’t be healthy for her I’m hoping this new method works.

Today is his wife's birthday, but she's too occupied sitting in the nest so he got to enjoy some treats before her

Taffy: male silky ringneck dove

Cocoa: male tangerine ringneck dove

After tons of testing treats, I've figured out that peanuts are their favorite treats! All I was doing right before this photo was cutting up a peanut and Cocoa noticed and flew right to me! And since Taffy can't fly I placed him on my shoulder so I could finish because he looked like he was trying to figure out how to get up on me.

(He totally use it now, normal behavior)

Hey guys, if anyone is from south FL Miami and lost a white dove or pigeon they’re at ikea by dolphin mall. I hope the owner sees this. I know white doves and pigeons aren’t common in the wild so I hope you see this. If you know the owner let them know or if you are the owner, the baby is just walking around the parking lot

I'm trying to train bingus to fly to my hand when I call him but instead of flying over he just stands there and makes this noise😭 its very funny as if he is telling me to give the seed to him right now but im not sure what it means because he sometimes makes the same noise (but softer and quieter) while he is very relaxed while on or near me (sitting down and fluffed up or sometimes falling asleep)

A few things of note:

Birdie never sits on the ground

Birdie is looking up

Birdie was eating/pecking at food when I got

home

His crate was clean when I left the house

this morning. Now it's a mess. He's been up to

Something today.

He's alert.

You may be able to tell that his poop appears

although there's not much.

He has an appointment on Monday with an avian

vet.

What do you think?

My little travel companion is being broody and the cage on wheels needed some repairs. As long as she has her eggy and rock ( had to make a quick substitute as I can't find my pheggs) she's a happy dovey.

Excuse the mess. He was pecking at food. Idk if he injested any.

This dove has been hanging out in my backyard for the last couple of days. I've put notices out to see if anybody in my area lost one. My question is, should I call Bird Rescue or leave it be. I feed other birds white millet, so it's eating. No one has claimed it so far. He's been cooing a lot. I live in Northern California.

She ate a tablet of beauluck 14 hours ago and is showing no signs of illness right now. I couldn’t get her to a vet right away because it was night and my mom didn’t allow me. Mom says she’ll be unharmed but i’m really worried. What do i do???
Edit: Tysm guys. I’m going to take her to the vet soon when mom comes home(i’m a minor so i can’t go on my own). Sorry for leaving out this info i know taking her to the vet is the obvious thing to do but i can’t because mom is away. I’ll update if there’s anything.
Update: mom told me to go to vet tomorrow. Yeah my family kinda sucks. Still no concerning signs, stools normal. I’m starting to wonder if she actually ate the pill? Well lesson learned, i’ll make sure to put dangerous things out of her way now. I’ll still go to the vet tomorrow to be safe

Hello! I’m new here but I’d like to share a community I’m building with y’all! I’ve yet to have the resources to house any doves myself, but as an avid pigeon spotter I’ve stock piled years of photos of these beauts from the wild and as an artist I’ve made a little story for each of them! No ads, no sponsorships, no monetization, just a new wonderful pigeon every day to grace your IG feed! I would love some support through a follow because I’d love to build a fam of dove lovers! (Burner account because I don’t want my real Reddit linked to my real IG)

Anyways! Find me @pigeon.stagram and thanks for being awesome
