take him out of that small cage. Try to make his life more natural.

[weirdwun]

@0098robinson the only time he's really in there is at night, for his own safety. he was born in captivity; this is 'natural' for him.

any advice on a dove that has a have skin and no feather head?

[weirdwun]

@breyernakotalover if you mean it has no feathers on its head, it may mean that it has skin mites, isn't getting enough attention, or is just plain bored. or isn't getting enough nutrition. I'm not a professional, but that's what i've heard.

it was born and raised in captivity. it would die if i let it out. i let her fly around 3+ hours a day, this is a 34 second video not her whole life. go listen to some shitty techno remixes, and i'll take care of the animals :)

[weirdwun]

@azzleeka its not newly born, he's several years old now. don't talk about things you have no idea about. and actually i let him fly around my house all the time, doors open and everything, and he chooses to stay with me. you know why? it's safe, warm, and there's plenty of food and no predators.

@azzleeka Aww.. Thank you. I really do hope for the same for you. :) But yeah. I've had plenty of wild rescues die on me. It's amazing how attached we can become to them. We know them only for day (or less) and then cry for a week. I think it's part mercy, part the fact that we failed in caring for them. It can change someone so much. I just got a new addition yesterday. A ring neck dove missing a part of it's beak and wing. But MAN that thing is spunky. LOL.

[azzleeka]

@hylianprincess7 you are so kind to these creatures, u remind me of myself back in the 90's i would even sob over an stray dove i rescued from the street and it eventually died, i buried the poor thing in my backyard and sobbed over it while raising a pray, those years will never come back, i am not the same anymore. Merry Christimas, you deserve it.

[hylianprincess7]

@azzleeka LOL. All of my birds have cages. I leave the door opened for them, but I don't believe in locking them inside of them unless... ohh say I'm cleaning or there's a cat or dog on my house. Otherwise, they're flying (or walking) everywhere. All of my birds have a handicap of some sort that would make it impossible for them to survive in the wilderness, but I believe in a fair chance. I'm in process of building a HUGE outdoor "play pen" for them.

[azzleeka]

@hylianprincess7 my defense LOL, nah i am kidding, its your reasoning

[hylianprincess7]

@azzleeka What made sense to you? Your defense, or my reasoning that not all animals are human fearing?

[azzleeka]

@hylianprincess7 It made sense cheers

[hylianprincess7]

I can't believe the jerks that have posted in this. What you do is an amazing thing. :) Keep it up. I have a dove of my own that has a broken wing, and that bird is something I can actually call a friend. Whenever I'm crying, she'll actually hop onto my shoe and get my attention. She knows when I'm happy, she knows when I'm sad. I love doves. I wanna see more of them around. And not shot off by jerks like Jthetinman.

[hylianprincess7]

@azzleeka And when my dove was brought in with a broken wing, and is never able to fly again, DARE say it's not grateful for me taking care of it. Cage opened, top off, window opened with no screen, and the sill is low enough that it could easily hop off onto the ground and run for it's life. It doesn't. In fact, it prefers to hop up onto my foot when it gets bored of the sill.

[hylianprincess7]

@Jthetinman Okay... so someone might as well kill you for talking. Doves make that noise to communicate. It's a beautiful and natural gift. That's like killing a horse because it runs.
