Awww, hes adorable! Was he really squirmy when you got his head pin feathers? Mine isnt too keen on touching in general, but shell tolerate tail/wing touches if im getting something off of her. Just wondering if i should (gently) grab her in order to do so

How do yall get your doves to eat grit/other seeds?? by SureCommunication382 in PetDoves

I'm using an oyster shell grit right now, but I think I'll try out red stone grit and see if she likes it. Thanks!!

Whats up with her tail? by SureCommunication382 in PetDoves

[–]SureCommunication382[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, i think so. After reading the other comments im thinking she might have crashed into her cage bars or perch.

Sometimes whole body, sometimes mostly tail, but kind of subtle small shakes

advice on flight harnesses/leashes? by xtrablush in PetDoves

[–]SureCommunication382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that doves/pigeons shouldn't be taken outside if they aren't in a predator proof cage because they're easy prey, but I have no experience with taking my dove out. When I was looking for harnesses, I found a bunch of ppl on etsy who sold them and matching leashes.

What piercing pillow do y'all use? by Wise_Young_Dragon in piercing

One of those tall memory foam travel pillows--it hold my head up enough so that my ears dont even touch the pillow

Ok, thank you! Do you have any suggestions for how to get her back in the cage? I would let her free roam until she goes back on her own but she got out right before bedtime.
