: I have a male(proven, does the whole male dance) ringneck dove. Recently (yesterday) I purchased another dove to keep him company. This new dove has been sitting in the food dish all day like a female does when she is nesting. Is this common for all doves to do or have I lucked into a female?
: If this is the case I should have beautiful babies. The male is a cream colored(blonde) and the new one is white.
: Thanks,
: Jodi

My question was answered. The male began to sit in dish when other bird was out. at first no egg then yesterday there was one egg so new bird is a female after all and both male and female doves will sit in nest.
