Hey hey Thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my dove for you guys to see...


Booth when I got him, he was so tiny!


Booth when he was going through his ugly baby bird stage (still cute though)


Getting a bit prettier



Booth all grown up & growing his new tail feathers



He's such a crazy bird, but I love him alot ;D
Hope you enjoy the pictures of him

So cute!

I used to handraise racing pigeons that were rejected/neglected by their parents as well as wild doves/pigeons that fell out of their nests (after storms especially). Have a soft spot for em!

Cheers for the pictures.

Thankyou
That's cool that you used to raise baby doves & pigeons. They're such cute birds!

Senegals are very pretty doves - I've always had a liking for the smaller doves, especially the Masked Dove. I used to get some Senegal Doves to sell in our shop around 10 years ago, and they were popular, but the breeder moved away and I lost my source. He is looking good, apart from the pecking they are delightful birds to keep as a pet.

cheers,

Mike

wow talk about the 'ugly duckling' turning into the beautiful "dove" he is beautiful now though isn't he. You did a good job raising him.

Thanks guys. He is quite pretty & always on his best behaviour when there's a camera around If he didn't peck he'd be the perfect bird! At least he hasn't got a beak like a galah, so can't actually bite me.

It's cool that you can get them as pets over there & its weird that we have different names for them...
