Just a reminder to all Dove Workers that have outdoor aviaries - It's moulting season for doves/birds. Be advised that your dove will be losing many of its feathers (down feathers too) for regrowth during the coming cooler months. In turn, while performing, your dove may be losing feathers during productions.
Just thought I would throw that in there. I went out to the dove house this morning, and the moulting has already started; so in turn, I will be outside for a while cleaning all the feathers up. *haha* We went from 90 degree weather to 70 degree weather within a matter of days, so the doves started moulting already. Also, be aware that sunlight days are a trigger for doves to start this process also. Shorter days gives doves the inclination that the cooler months are on the way. The good thing is that the new feathers makes doves look beautiful and brand new! Out with the old, in with the new... -Alpha |
