Doves

I bought this book, and it's sister book Pigeons, the day after I was given an orphan day-old pigeon chick to raise way back in 1997. Normaly I deal with domestic birds (bantams, budgies, ect.) so when my Pidgie came to me, I knew the basics, but I also knew I didn't know enough about pigeons to raise him on my own. These 2 books were all I needed, they provide all the info needed to raise happy healthy pigeond and doves from chick to adult. I am so glad these 2 German classics had been translated and reprinted into English, I don't know what I would have done without them. ~~EK

This book is great. I looked for the information in this book all over the place for months. This book has absolutely everything you need or would want to know about being a dove owner. This book should be in every dove owner's book collection.

I have looked for books on doves and believe me they are hard to find. This book starts with understanding how a dove thinks and goes into breeding, behavior, feeding, handling and types of doves. This book is a keeper if you are a novice or expert. It covers all the need to know information and more. In my opionion, this is the only book you need to buy if you are interested in doves.

This book gives hard to find info about Doves and their lifestyles. It also gives useful info and advice on how to keep them as pets. The photos were also nice. I was disappointed with the bibliography. I would have like to see more useful addresses as well.
