For
the last 25 years I have bred many species exotic doves. More
recently, I have narrowed my collection
to fewer species that I really like. The
Bleeding Heart doves are my favorites and they are very attractive.
They are not difficult to keep but they do require specialized
care that doves like ringnecks and diamonds do not require. I
still have the first Bleeding heart I purchased in 1973, he is
25 years old and he looks great!
Many of these rare doves are slow to mature and to breed; however,
they can be quite productive, some pairs raising several clutches
per year for many, many years, well in to their teens! We have
a lot of success, which I assure you has come gradually over
25 years of breeding doves. Other
doves that I enjoy are the Golden Hearts, Yellow Breasted and
Greenwings. They are all very colorful and beautiful doves. I
do not consider many of these birds to be suitable for beginners.
Of the doves that I offer which I would consider suitable for
a beginner are, Laceneck Dove, Barshoulder Dove, and
the Greenwing Dove. The other species I consider more difficult
to accommodate and I would be happy to talk with you about them
if you are interested. Call me for more information about any
of these birds. I also know lots of dove breeders and if there
is a dove you are looking for I can probably put you in touch
with someone else in the US
who breeds them. |
