Doves: Complete Dove Pet Information: Care , Habitat, Housing, Treats, Diet, Food

by John Ava

Doves and pigeons, both members of the Columbidae family of birds, have enjoyed a close relationship with man for centuries. Although technically the same animal, doves are smaller than pigeons and greatly beloved for their gentle, quiet nature. This text, aimed at the novice dove keeper, introduces the reader to not just the basics of dove husbandry, but also offers insight into the emotional life of these intelligent and loyal creatures. Thriving in bonded pairs of any gender combination, doves also develop a deep affection for their human keepers and need a real relationship with their people. With a projected lifespan of 20 years for Ring Neck Doves and 25 years for Diamond Doves, taking one of these birds into your life is a serious commitment.
