My pair of Ringneck doves preparing their nest. The female just laid her first egg. Within 24-48 hr she will lay her second egg and begin incubation .Ringneck doves are great parents and share sitting on the eggs and feeding the young once they hatch. Check out my blog about Ringneck doves as pets. Leave me a comment on my blog if you own a ring neck dove.

Beautiful doves 🕊 I love how careful you are with them .
I want to give the viewers an update. On 8/13/2013 two healthy
chicks were born. I will shoot a video of them tonight.
@dave hello, I have a female and male ringed necked dove. They have laid eggs two times now but after 20 days or so they will abandon the nest. I’ve opened the eggs then to find the eggs were never even developing. What could be the problem? The temperature inside the house? Thank you so much, an answer is greatly appreciated.
Couple of questions, how old are they? How sure are you that you have a male a female? The only real way to tell the difference between sex is the behavior. Do they share sitting on the eggs? I'm just wondering if you have two females.
I put some oats in mines nesting box. Should I use something else or will they make their own to suite how they want it to be
Just put grass or weeds, oats should work on the bottom of cage. Let them build the nest.
@@DaveSherva oh ok thank you
I enjoyed your video I live in Wisconsin I'm looking for birds
So I know Ive asked ya a few questions on here but I tried looking something up and couldn't find a good answer so I thought of you lol. I have 2 white ringnecks that are young. I was told one was male and one was female. One of them does a lot of the cooking and bowing now. The other tends to crouch and lean forward a bit and they both twitch their feathers. So my question is. The one that I said crouches some times makes the same cooing sound but it's real low and it is one one coo. What I'm wondering is this still possibly a female? Will females make that sound sometimes? Oh and the other thing it does is it makes a sound that reminds me of a frog and it's always in response to the cooking of the one I know for sure is male. I really hope it's not two males. Thanks and thanks for all your videos. You should be doing voice overs for nature documentaries lol. Your voice is perfect for it
You have a pair. The more timid one is the female. Males are pricks and will fight each other almost nonstop. I wouldn't expect them to breed for a few more months. As the day light hours increase that kicks in their breeding instinct. Just put grass and small sticks or straw on the bottom of the cage so when it's time they can start making the nest. In March they should start to show more interest in breeding. Thanks for the voice compliment!
@@DaveSherva thank you so much for the help. I'm glad you were able to clarify this for me
very nice set up
Thanks for the comment. I just moved them back outside for the season. I live in Minnesota and we have had a heck of a winter. They like the setup too.
very nice
It’s funny cause we have been chatting back and forth about our doves and I started watching it again and realized that the video is from 9 yrs ago lol. I was looking at it like this is what’s happening with your doves in comparison to mine now lol
That's why I told you to start a channel and I'm totally serious. You can copy mine as reference and make them your own. You have a ton of variety of birds and the knowledge. Look at the views on this video of mine "inside a lovebird nest box" 355K views. You need to start. Lots of opportunities come along and meet great people like yourself.
@@DaveSherva I’m gonna give it a try. I’m bout to start my journey of becoming a falconer so it would be cool to make videos about it along the way
@@joewarrick6043 I would love to see that. If you were in MN I'd help with the rabbits. I have one hell of a beagle that hunt rabbits with.
@@DaveSherva yeah I’ve always been fascinated with falconry. I live in alliance ohio bout 30 min from Cleveland. I’m a country boy lol
And speaking about making channels and things like that. I listen to a lot of audio books. You should get into doing that cause you have a great voice for it. You could probably make a lot of money recording yourself reading novels then putting it on youtube
thank you sharing your knowledge ; i am considering raising them
It takes about 21 days for the eggs to hatch actually. And the first egg laid is almost always a male and the second a female. Sometimes you get weird pairs that will give you 2 males or 2 females but that's not that common. Good luck with your doves! :)
Apparently one of my doves I thought was male (I tried my best at guessing they're really hard to find in my area) is a she now I have one egg she laid a second...but it must have fallen out of the dish she's trying to nest in and it broke on a platform...she was with an actual male for months
I read online that two eggs could mean they're fertile...is that true? I looked it up online and apparent four eggs means they're not fertile?? Just wanted to know I'd this was a wives take or not
I've also noticed she hasn't left the food dish in quite some time...she's there everyday and from what I can tell all day (I work from 10-7 normally home by 7:30 I check on them both leaving and coming home everyday)...is that bad for her?
Sorry I knew there was a chance she could be female I've only had her for a few months I didn't think that the newer one was close to breeding age so I'm kind of unprepared hoping to find good information
Ringneck doves always lay two eggs. If you end up with more then two eggs in a week you have two females. My doves have rejected several eggs over the years and I believe they can tell if an egg is fertile. If it is not they push it out of the nest like yours did. Doves also share the parenting responsibility and take turns sitting on the eggs. Are yours sitting on the egg? and taking turns doing it. I'd be curious about the size of your cage?
The cage isn't exactly huge but it is fairly large I leave the door open so they can have full roam of a wide hallway upstairs (it was a lost room but someone built a wall up there...so I just put a mesh screen at the bottom of the stairs so they could roam and no be bothered by the dogs...there's also a permanent baby gate at the bottom of the stairs so it's pretty secure the dogs don't mess with the birds and they have a large area to themselves...I'd say their total space is pretty close to 18 feet by 6 feet...it's a fairly large area) the cage is just for sleep and food
The egg not being good makes sense and from what I can tell I don't think they're taking turns I just noticed the broken egg last night it was cracked open but didn't seem like it had been in the cage that long...they are weird and sometimes sleep in their food dishes so I didn't really think anything of it until I saw the egg cracked on one of the platforms in the cage
You certainly have a big enough cage. That's weird that they sleep in their food dish. Are you offering them some kind of bowl to nest in as well? Are they trying to lay eggs in the food?
After a few days of eggs being laid, hold up a small flashlight to the underside of an egg to see if there is an embryo forming. You should see red veins across the egg if it is fertile.
I have bought a pair of doves they are not laying eges even they are full in age and got settled and male goes into the pot and start cooing so please let me how to bring them on to the breeding
For one we are out of the breeding season. With the increased darkness as we approach winter most birds stop laying eggs. How big is your cage? You need a large cage to breed doves and raise their young. I would recommend working with the doves you have and get them really tamed and trained. It's almost impossible to get rid of the young and you don't want to have 4 doves inside. They create to much feather dander that can be bad for your health.
Ma cage is normal
And there is no winter season in our country and there is only one in one cage
Could you winterize your coop and let them stay out during the winter?
Missy Behexed It just gets to cold here in Minnesota. Easier to bring them inside.
Cute little doveys!
nice your bird
Do u still have any doves for sale Dave Sherva
Thank you for sharing.
If your goal is not to breed, would 2 females be happy together?
I rescued a single female and wonder if she’d like a friend.
I bought two doves at the fair. A young female and a young male. But the male attacks the female when she tries to eat. How can I get them to warm up to each other? Any ideas? At this point I have to separate them to feed them.
Males can be aggressive, especially toward other males. Are you sure you have a pair? I would feed them outside the cage and let them get plenty of exercise. The male may be just establishing his dominance our and should mellow out within a week. How big is your cage?
I just got some dove (4) I believe one to be a male and one laid eggs about two days ago so hopefully they will hatch in another 12 days
After the second egg is laid both parents will begin incubating the eggs. Are they both sitting on the eggs?
I have pare of dove same color but how to create difference between male and female dove
It can be very difficult to tell the difference. The male usually does the bowing and cooing but some females will also bow and coo. Males also will chose a nest location and will sit in it and flap its wings. He's showing the female he has a good nesting spot. I've noticed that my males feet are more purple in color as well. I hope that helps.
hi, nice dove. I am looking for a hen. where you from MN?
Northern suburbs, I don't think I have a hen. I have a young one but I think it may be a male.I;ll let you know. Where do you live ?
Dave Sherva I live in Brooklyn Center. I have an light grey cock.
how to tell males from females
It's tough to tell just by looking at the bird. You need to look at their behavior. The males will bow and cow and are generally louder then the females. My males feet are always darker almost purple compared to the females.
hey I want to know do they lay eggs on the same day or one one day and another other day
+Irma Caudillo An egg one day and after 24 hours the second egg will be laid and they will both start siting on the eggs after the 2nd is laid..
Thank
TRKE
Hello mate! What are the plants you have in your aviary? I’m from India and looking for a airy friendly plants.
What's nice about doves is they don't damage the plants very much so I grew beans and tomatoes. What happens also is the seed that spills will start to grow and I just let it grow. The doves would nibble on the fresh shouts or germinating seeds occassionally. They do seem to like the cover of live plants so I say go for what ever grows well and also provides food for you. Thanks for the comment.
Dave Sherva thanks for the information mate! Appreciate it. Will plant some vegetables now.
how to know their gender?
