I hope you enjoy looking through it. I've never heard of a bird species that cannot become a pet if handled correctly at the right times. (Many are illegal to have as pets, but that doesn't mean they can't be tamed down to be your flock mate)


Doves are long known for becoming good pets!

Happy Holidays,
