Are You Thinking About Raising Doves?

So You Would Like to Add Doves to Your Collection? I have received many questions from people who keep pigeons about adding doves to their collections. So when I was asked if I would be interested in writing an article for the Los Angeles Pigeon Club, I thought this would be a great time to address this topic. Like many of you, I started keeping pigeons when I was very young. My love and interests grew for the birds as did my desire to keep different species. I raised Homers, Tumblers and Rollers and learned that methods of keeping varied between these types of pigeons. I also discovered that I had to provide differently for the pheasants I added to my collection. Even more differences were found when I wanted to add Ringneck doves, Diamond doves and now the many species of Exotic doves to my collection.
