Collared Dove Fledge

Oh yes they will get lots of food.The two I hope to release back out into the wild,since they are ferral,but the new one who came in today is banded.
What is the best way to introduce new into a flock? I tried one of my white ones in with the others and Bruno the big male charged him,so I took him out.
Will they except others or should they always be seperated?

Pigeons will quibble at first, being in a cage alone is upsetting to them, if ya can, Keep them seperated until release.
Also it would be best to release the birds where there is a flock of ferals, do you have any Grain elevators near by?
Seems to me you have been taking in many birds of peace lately, maybe it would help you to go on a drive and locate some grain elevators near you, we have 3 here in the Twin Cities, and this is where you will find Pigeon flocks, plenty of food for them.

White Winged Dove

I will see if we have any grain elevators around here. I plan on releasing the two ferals if they are able to be,but the new one who came in with the band I am going to let her stay with me and hopefully join my flock,she has been through enough she is skin and bones and I want to give her the life she deserves now.
Arty I can't thank you enough for opening my eyes to these beautiful creatures,I find so much peace in caring for them,and when a 80 yr old women brought me one yesterday and she just sat and hugged me and cried and couldn't thank me enough for helping these guys,I just had such a feeling of peace and happiness go over me.

I wish I could say I had a choice in picking these birds to give my full attention/heart to, that was decided for me, believe me, I ask why...but so far....no answer...
I felt you had room in your heart for the bird of peace Barbra, I was right!
I am pleased these birds have touched you as they have touched me, again we walk together....I was kinda lonely ya know....I needed you also...
There are more and more folks walking with you and I now.....Kate, Camille, Susan, Donna, and now Heather...
Many members here on Parrot Chatter and on Second Chance have also opened there hearts to these wonderful birds....
Together....Together we will help these birds...bet me and loose....
Many many wonderful members here now look differently upon the bird of peace, I am so very pleased by all of this...such happiness, not only for me...but more importently....for The Bird of Peace.....
