Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as Doves, Matthew 10:16

Donations:

Asking for donations is never a easy thing to do. This job I put my heart in it. The birds are well taking care of and loved. I will also try to help anyone out that can not care for their birds any longer. I've also been called in to do some rescues and some of these I've cried over but with my care along with the care of the vet most of them make a full recovery. In time I've been able to find wonderful homes and some will live here for the rest of their life. With your donations every bit of that will go towards the care of these birds.

Thank you and God Bless each and every one.

Thank you for visiting my site.

If you have any questions, please ask.

No Guarantee on the Sex of the Young Doves. Some are just too young to tell right now but I will give you my honest opinion on what I think the bird will be. Until they are proven I can not guarantee the sex.

Congratulations to my two girls for winning Champion in the Ringneck Dove and Champion in the Diamond Dove.

My oldest girl wasn't here on this day to receive her trophy.

Prices are based on color/bloodline of the bird. I have a lot of birds with Champion bloodline.

Did you know? The doves got their name "Ringneck Dove" from the ring on their necks. But did you know that all Ringneck Doves have a ring. It can be a black, grey or white ring. Even a white Ringneck Dove has a ring and it's a white ring making it hard to see.

Also:

Ringneck Doves DO NOT Breed for life.

Ringneck Doves make wonderful pets.

Makes a great first time bird owner.

Taking care of Ringneck Doves:

1.) They will eat a good seed mix or a pellet diet. Try different fruits and veggies as well.

2.)You can teach them to drink from a water bottle. My doves are already trained to do this. Water bottles are a lot healthier.

3.) Doves require a grit / crushed oyster shell mix. This should be in a separate dish and filled when needed. Because Doves do not chew up their seeds the grit is what will help brake up and digest the food properly while also added calcium from the oyster shells. Females have to have added calcium to their diet for egg laying.

4.) Doves enjoy swings and could peak at toys with bells. They do not chew on toys but they do enjoy having them in their cage.

DNA's are available.

I can run a Blood DNA on any bird that your interested in. The fee for this is $45 per bird. You would also receive a Nice Certificate with the results on it.

Welcome

Ringneck Doves:

Also known as the Cape Turtle Dove or Half-collared dove, is a widespread and often abundant dove species in East and Southern Africa.

They get their name from the half ring on the top of their neck. This color can range from being Black, Grey or White.

Ring-Necked Dove has been domesticated for over 2000 years.

Temperament: For the person that's looking for a more laid~back bird, Doves are a great match for this. They're the easiest birds to handle and care for. You never have to worry about the bird biting you or having a bad day. It takes no time to for the bird to become your best friend. Doves will go to anyone and they're great listeners. You'll enjoy petting their super soft feathers. Males can be a little more active and their cooing sounds can be a little louder than the sounds of Females. Very easy to train. You can have them hang out on a bird stand of your choice when you're not handling them.

They hardly have any health problems.

Life span: 10 - 20 years.

Size: 9.8 ~ 10.4 inches long and Weigh 3.2 ~ 6.6 oz.

Diet: They feed mainly on seeds, grains and insects on occasion (termites, weevils and others). Fresh fruits and vegetables are good for them as well.

Like all birds Research the correct/Safe Fruits and veggies.

Digestion: Grit and Crushed Oyster Shells are needed in a small dish at all times, NOT mixed in with their food. Because Doves swallow their food whole they need to have this grit to help them digest the food properly by the grit breaking the food up for them. The crushed oyster shells help with digestion as well, this will give them that extra calcium that helps with healthy bones and helps the female for egg laying.

Water: All types of Water is OK for your bird to drink. But drinking their water from a Water Bottle is a lot healthier for your bird. A dish of water can be fun for the bird to bathe in and sometimes they'll poop in the water. So you definitely don't want the bird to drink from this dish.

A Bird Bath can be offered to your bird but only for a certain amount time. Make sure you remove this dish because they will start to drink from this instead of the water bottle that's offered.

Amazing Sale on Ringneck Doves.

I really need to get rid of a lot of my extra doves that I have. Being the caretaker for my mother I really don't have the time to build another aviary to hold these birds.

These are birds ranging from 1-6 years old. As the birds start to mature they're trying to find a mate. So between molting and them picking at one another for a mate the feathers just don't look the best. With this sale I will not try to sex them or figure out the exact age for each one. This takes way too much time and I just want to give them a new forever home.

Wild Color

I have a few different ones of this color available. The shades of color could vary.

$8 - $12 each

Violet Neck

I have a few different ones of this color. The shades of the marking can vary for each bird.

$10 - $12 each

Tangerine Pearl

This color I have the most of.

Again the markings can vary from one bird to another.

$8 - $12 each

I'm not able to take a picture of every bird. I just don't have that kind of time. I just want to give you an idea on what's available and you let me know what you're looking for. Again please don't ask for me to try to sex them. It's a guessing game on that. If you have any other questions please ask.

Please DO NOT Release Ringneck Doves They can not care for themselves and will not survive.

Thank you.
