If you don't have a dove, get one. They are so nice to have. Mine was found over at Farmers Building Supply looking for a home. He was even free. The cage we have wasn't free and the feed isn't free, but he is worth having for the peace and niceness he adds to our home. He begins softly cooing around 5:45am, according to the light usually. Once in awhile if the dog barks at night he responds to Shadow with a friend song. And he doesn't make you wish he would stop singing. He loves it if I play the piano - music is one of his gifts. He has different songs. And sometimes he looks like he is showing off. I open his cage about once a day and let him fly for awhile. He loves sitting in the bathroom window. Sometimes when he is done flying for the day he returns to his cage on his own. Otherwise we let him know it is time. Only once did we accidentally pull out his tail feathers while trying to get him to return to his cage. And the feathers have grown back. :) I think it is the last Saturday of the month between 10 and 2.
