I was curious about the lifespan of doves commonly kept as pets such as Diamond Doves. I know nothing about doves. My daughter saw a white dove on an animal shelter website. She has wanted a dove of some kind for a couple of years. We're not rescuing any, but I wanted to know about them incase we get one in the future.

If they are fed regularly and looked after they live twice the length of the wild birds. Ours seem to fall foul of foxes and buzzards especially in the Winter months. We have two visit our bird table but John made a dove cote and the only thing to use it for nesting was a family of jackdaws! Fussy lot.
