I'm hoping I can get some advice -
Through a few strange coincidences, I ended up being the home for a mating pair - both trained, both working in a show I was working on. And, through some poor calendar management I ended up with another pair...so mom, dad, and the kids. The kids are just about ready to start training. Sex unknown, though they should be a male and a female also... Although I've worked with just about every air purifier I can lay my hands on, and I really do like having them around, I'm having some breathing problems (we live in a rather small apartment), and my own gig requires me to travel frequently...I simply think I can't be the home for these lovely birds. I'm based in Chicago, and I've contacted some folks I know here for leads, but I'm coming up empty. I tried a few pet stores (eek), but no takers. I don't want to see them end up somewhere miserable, but I'm afraid they can't stay with me much longer. Any advice on how to go about it? Thanks! Amanda |

Amanda, if you're having breathing problems the it's best to find new homes for your friends. Small apartments are not good for humans and avian to coexist.
Here are a few questions that might help you find a new home. If I read your post correctly, you have 4 doves. 1. Are you looking to relocate all 4 2. Are you looking to sell them or just find a good home 3. If you are selling, how much are you looking for. I'm assuming you want to sell the pairs together. 4. Are you willing to ship them to a prospective new owner

Sad to hear of your problems. Soon after my son was born (18 years ago, whew!), he was diagnosed with asthma, and it was a no-brainer that the birds had to go. I think I had 11 or 12 doves and one Nanday Conure at the time. One of many times I've re-invented myself as a magician.

Thanks for the replies!
To answer dave's questions - I need to relocate all four of them. I am not looking to sell them, merely to give them away to a good home. I didn't pay for them myself, and they've given me enough value in just doing their jobs. So, they are free. It's probably smartest if the older pair stays together (they are 6 years old). The younger ones could be separated and I'm sure they would be fine. They probably shouldn't mate with each other, anyway... Yes, I am willing to ship! I don't think that will cost me an arm and a leg, tho I need to look into it. They are all white ringnecks. thanks! a |

Amanda, I'm probably too late, but I have been looking for a male for a while. I was hoping to raise some baby doves but I ended up with 4 females. I would be interested in the older pair.

If you can not find anyone to sell them to, try giving them to a pet shop or bird rescue association.
