Meeting neighbors
We are officially getting more doves! three of them, two females and one male.
However, they are all albino and none of them have leg bands. to make sure I don't confuse any of them up, I'm ordering leg bands for them. But what size/material is best? I don't want anything to hurt my babies, I don't want to accidentally order bands that are too small or made of a material that could hurt them.
Also, I need name ideas!! One of the females I have already decided on the name Pearl, and she's the one who will be paired with Noah. But I don't know what to name the other two!
also, final question, do they prefer millet or mustard seeds? I'm going to be growing my own seed this summer, to give to them as fresh treats. my budgies seem to prefer mustard plants and seeds over spray millet.
Also, there were requests for pics of Noah, so here ya go! Here's my sweet boy

Congrats on your new birds! I don't know about bands; can't tell you much there. My doves love millet but I've never tried mustard seed so don't know which they'd prefer.
