Doves Brown
Brown doves are gentle, elegant birds admired for their warm, earthy plumage and peaceful temperament. They are popular in aviaries and as companion birds due to their calm demeanor, adaptability, and low-maintenance care requirements.
Physical Appearance:
Brown doves typically have soft brown feathers, sometimes with subtle variations or markings. Their smooth plumage, gentle eyes, and graceful movements make them visually appealing and soothing to observe.
Temperament and Behavior:
These doves are calm, friendly, and social. They thrive when kept in pairs or small groups, as they naturally enjoy companionship. Their gentle cooing and soft movements add serenity to any aviary. Brown doves are generally non-aggressive and adapt well to different environments, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced bird keepers.
Diet and Nutrition:
A balanced diet is essential for keeping brown doves healthy. They primarily feed on a quality seed mix, supplemented with fresh grains, greens, and occasional fruits. Clean water should always be available. Proper nutrition ensures vibrant plumage, strong immunity, and overall well-being.
Habitat and Housing:
Brown doves adapt well to spacious cages or aviaries. They need perches, a safe environment, and enough space to move and exercise. Providing nesting areas encourages natural behaviors and promotes breeding if desired.
Lifespan and Health:
With proper care, brown doves typically live 8–12 years. Regular health checks, clean housing, and a balanced diet are essential for longevity.
Care Tips:
Keep them in pairs or small groups for social interaction.
