When I had my doves they originall came from a tomatoe canary my dad worked at his whole life ....he was a welder/palletizer/depalletizer mechanic .......anyways the company would go around knocking nests out of the rafters during there start ups ....obviously they would miss a few nests and when they did find em they'd just kill the little ones .....long story short I'd get the little ones and hand raise them myself ....I enjoyed working with them ....once I accumumilated a bunch and they were breeding ,,,I built an Avery 60 ft long 12 ft high and 15 feet tall out back .....I built boxes and added benches so I could go out and enjoy them in the evenings ......but like I mentioned earlier ....disease killed em a few years back .......I also got a stray cat from the same place they were guna take to the pound .......still have him and he's my little buddy ....he's quite old actually and it may seem/sound weird but raising him from a little wild demon cat was very therapeutic and saved me from lots of drugs and even worse IMO .......I lost my mom young and she was my best friend .....went down a dark life doesn't matter anymore road after losing her to an anuerism suddenly ........my dad brought that cat home and because he was such a little demon ....I took interest and raised him up ......between him and rehab saved my life IMO ........he's strange though ...just like me lol
