They need to be supervised as with any other captive bird relationship but they do fine.  Pigeons and doves are much more at risk of injury than the parrots because they have soft, non-biting beaks and temperaments.  My conure Tookie really appreciates the foster flock of doves and pigeons I have indoors and pays keen attention to their activities.  Tookie fancies himself the supervisor, I think.  That said, mine pretty much limit their interactions to watching each other.<div>
