Frequently Asked Questions
Can doves be kept alone?
No-doves are social birds and must be placed in pairs or small groups to be happy mentally.
Do doves need special housing?
Yes, horizontal space is what they need more than height, and they like silent places where there is no draft.
How do I know if my dove is sick?
Check the feathers are fluffed, the droppings are strange, the appetite is gone, or the eyes are closed- take it to a vet as soon as these symptoms show.
Can doves be released outdoors?
The release should be done with trained homing doves only. Pet doves do not have the capabilities to survive or find their way home.
