DOVES and PIGEONS

There are over 300 species of doves. Only a few of these are kept in captivity in North America. A number of species are listed below which are kept on a fairly common basis.

You will notice that there is still a large amount of information to be collected and compiled about these species. New Species will be added as information is gathered and processed. If you have any information about these species or any others that you would like to share, please let us know.

Nearly all of this species information was collected and sorted by Jeff Downing, owner of http://www.DiamondDove.com and ADA Newsletter Editor. Please take a moment to visit Jeff's website and be sure to order his book, Diamond Doves: A Guide To Their Colors And Care.
