Title: Diamond Doves
Post by: Monstercrazy1257 on March 26, 2017, 06:56:30 PM
As many of you probably know I own four birds known as Diamond doves. They come from the semi-arid areas of Central, West and Northern Australia. They are pretty cool and are quite quiet compared to other birds such as budgies or canerys. I think the coolest thing about them is that they are actually doves but are small enough to live in a cage unlike there bigger cousins that require a huge aviary outside.

This is my relativly new cage. You can see the old one at the bottom right of the picture, It was a lot smaller!

These are the birds. From left to right: Mr, Molly, Mrs and Sherlock.

Before I got my new cage, I only had Mr and Mrs. They started to breed and lay eggs but unfortunately the eggs didn't hatch. I think it has something to do with England's ambient temperature being lower than Australia.

When I bought the new cage along with Molly and Sherlock something weird happened. Mr and Mrs started to lay their eggs but they had a visitor, Molly!

Molly seems to have adopted the others eggs which is weird for female diamond doves, it's normaly males that do that. Now that Mr and Mrs have an extra pair of wings to help them, hopefully there will be babies!
