I'm not sure why we aren't able to inhibit courtship and breeding behavior in pigeons and doves. They don't seem to develop behavioral and health problems like some companion parrots and so we just make sure that whatever they do, there are no oops babies.

so I know in parrots, nesting behavior is discouraged to prevent hormonal (aka aggressive) behavior as well as to discourage territorialism and egg laying(due to it's strain on a females body), is this not the case for doves/pij too?

Lilly is pretty stinking cute though :-p especially building her nest with her stuffed animal friends :-p

Thank You,
