Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around too much lately, will try to participate some more .
Recently had a white dove surrendered to my work...he's supposed to be around 10 weeks old, and he is super sweet... so sweet I've fallen in . I'm trying to do some research, but I can't seem to find too much information on keeping them indoors, or as a single pet. He comes to the front of the cage when I go in the room, steps up, sits with me and lets me rub on him without taking off. Would it be cruel to keep him as a single caged bird, if he gets let out and interacted with everyday? I have a rather large master bedroom with high ceilings and good space for flying and exercising, but he would have to be caged while I'm at work.
I was also really curious about the best way to set up a cage for them. I know they can't climb with their beaks...does anyone have pictures of their setups? Also toys, treats, and other things they like? Thank you!
