Hello. I bought two doves that are a bonded pair. I didn't knoW!!!!! One week after they came here they layed 2 eggs. One on my fake plant, and another in a bowl I set up for them. Two weeks later only one hatched and there was 3.....a couple of days later she layed 2 more eggs. They both hatched and now I have 5.... they layed 2 more eggs!!!! I have someone to take the 2nd brood, because they can now eat on their own, but come on, this is ridiculous!!!! I can't get myself to remove the eggs like people say I am supposed to do and discard them. I just can't do that. I feel horrible. Would anyone be interested in buying the babies that she has once they stop feeding from the parents going forward? I let them fly free in my house. I only put them in their cage when I am not home. I have too many birds!!!! I have a green wing macaw, 2 sun conures and 6 parakeets. These doves won't stop laying eggs!!!! They are wonderful birds, so friendly and easy to take care of. Please call if you are interested. Help!!!!
update: I now have 17 Doves. I let them out at night to fly around and even if I keep the males and females separated, it is a freak show when I let them out!!!! Also my parakeets are getting frisky as well as the conures. You may be seeing another post about conures and parakeets soon!!!!! lol.
Please consider Doves for your next pet. they represent peace and love and are good luck!!!! Thank you
