Please make a vedio on indian spice finch thank-you

[@gracelangan2780]

Hi Jessi can you do a video trying to train a macaw (maybe joy) to do some tricks? By the way I love your videos!

[@krameshkr]

She’s so tiny! Dazzle is amazing name for a diamond dove!

[@raelyn4789]

Awww! She so small!

[@raelyn4789]

AHHH I GOT A LIKE FROM ANIMAL WONDERS

[@TheSwanbear]

I squealed out loud when I saw the thumbnail! Diamond dove is literally my dream pet, I've planned on getting a pair for years. Whenever my boyfriend and I move to a bigger place, we're getting diamond doves for sure! Looking forward to see more of little Dazzle!

[@orsonincharge4879]

Dazzle : your warm hand is appreciated , i will sit .

[@jorat8160]

Makes me miss my diamond dove, Soap. He passed almost two years ago now.

[@soupertsoupbirdsoupington7319]

Sorry to hear about that! I’m here if you’re ever sad about it. ✌️ 😔 ❤️

[@milkaisaac6692]

Sorry about your loss! Hope you find another just as good!

[@hiverchaud]

Sorry for your loss, they are truly adorable little beings!❤❤❤

[@a.bookmonkey6790]

She’s so beautiful! I also love pigeons and doves, although I didn’t realize that they were so closely related until I learned that the word in Spanish is the same for both of them and looked into it

[@tinakersten3779]

In German it's the same word too, that's how i found out.

[@grilodonilo621]

as a portuguese speaker, i'm just now realising they're two different birds. I thought pigeons were the male and doves were female lol

[@Jemima1377]

@@tinakersten3779 I just realised that there are two different words - and therfor birds - in english! I was always used to essentially differentiate them by where they were found...

[@xandermin]

In nordic languages, the word for doves & pigeons is also the same!

[@_mortiam]

Since I speak German, where there's only one word for them, I didn't know they are actually two birds. I thought English in its weirdness has just two words for the same kind of animal xD So... what's the difference between a dove and a pigeon?

[@ophylias2107]

She's so small and good, omg. Also, I need that mana-tea shirt like yesterday.

[@harmonicaveronica]

I'm not sure about the shirt, but you can definitely find silicone tea steepers that are shaped like manatees as well

[@xandermin]

She's beautiful! I would love to keep doves sometime, they're such incredible animals & so much smarter than most people think. I'm going to start my journey to become a certified animal keeper next year, & am hoping to work in wildlife rescue & conservation, & this channel is so helpful & inspiring 💛

[@burnished]

I cannot believe how small she is!

[@ShesAaRebel]

Is Dazzle too small to get along with your existing flock of pigeons/doves? If you get another diamond dove, will you be housing them all together, or will Dazzle and her companion be separated? Also, if you get another one, you should name them Razzle.

[@fishingleader]

she looks like a female to me by the eye ring, but I always find with any dove it's easier to make a pretty good guess on their gender by their behaviour - male diamond doves will do their impressive mating display to their reflection or anything they see they want to mate with (one of my males will do it at literally any bird that is NOT a diamond dove... you can't mate with a ringneck dove, pigeon, or quail sweetie...) while females typically would not do this mating display (though there can always be exceptions) and females tend to be quieter than the males. My 2 males coo and hoot all day long! So if she's fairly quiet and has never done the mating "dance", I'd say you can be almost certain she's a female!

[@kia__vibessss]

My dove has small eye holes and she looks just like the one in the video

[@afton.vfxx1]

“They’re fairly easy to provide for, and they can be incredibly rewarding to watch thrive in your care. They also have fun personalities, once you get to know them, and if they’re treated kindly and given plenty of attention, they can respond with trust and affection.”

[@milkaisaac6692]

She’s so precious! Beautiful name as well!

[@georgiapapas4839]

She’s so pretty!!

[@Animallover1440]

I used to have two! They’re such great birds One of min used to fly to me just to hang out with me, they also loved my phone lol!

[@jmpattillo]

This channel is an antidote to the world.

[@aneekkachhwaha]

She is adorable

[@cherylkinkaid6801]

She's adorable. Welcome home Dazzle

[@rgraika422]

What a beautiful bird! I love pigeons and doves.

[@AllTheArtsy]

I've never seen a diamond dove, how pretty! And the name is *chef's kiss*

[@Shifterai]

what a gorgeous little bird! that colouration is incredibly unusual! I wonder if the american population of diamond doves have ended up a lighter colour than the aussie natives through selective breeding, they look so different to the ones I've seen in the wild (growing up my town had an aviary in the park with some of these guys in there, along with other aussie native birds - the crested pigeons were my favourite)

[@xandermin]

The light colour is definitely more sought-after than the regular, so it makes sense that a lot of the diamonds in the US are light. I personally prefer the original colouring, I love their prominent white spots!

[@Cillana]

There are no breeding populations of diamond doves in the wild in the US so it's not natural selection. It could be either a selected preference of breeders in the US. Or it could be based on a smaller gene pool of the population of birds in captivity in the US in which that coloration is predominant.

[@juliusroman8616]

I don't live in Australia, but the galahs seem really cool.

[@Shifterai]

@@juliusroman8616 They are really cool looking birds! But also not particularly smart as far as parrot type birds go...

[@uabir8338]

Is amazing to see a pigeon on this channel after a while

[@joydoeslife.]

hello! I just found your video today and I got so excited! I have a little Diamond Dove name bubbles! And I love learning as much about her as I can! So I very much enjoyed watching this with her!

[@Tiffany-xx4qr]

she looks like my female diamond dove with the less distinct spots, whose coloration i believe is called blue white tail laced

[@ediekoller1144]

Dazzle is so adorable..so glad she has a wonderful forever home with great care.

[@SharkySnarksickles]

This seems like something Emily from Snake discovery would know about! She primarily keeps reptiles now but is super knowledgeable about birds!

[@juliac3933]

She has a parrot not doves

[@SobrietyandSolace]

That and some of her snakes would eat these eggs so it would make sense for her to get some or button quail

[@EclecticallyEccentric]

​@@juliac3933 But she has worked with tons of birds. Birds were her passion before she got into reptiles.

[@lisaenglert3202]

I rescued a baby dove 🕊 last year who still comes to check me out. Hoping she’ll go on to have a long life!

[@Thebeetlemangr]

In my experience diamond doves that are male tend to be really agressive to their reflection sooo...that might help

[@Galactic_Centre]

She's so cute and gorgeous! I hope you will make another video about her.

[@PenguinDT]

Dazzle is awesome, welcome to the Interwebs! Having been so accustomed to regular sized doves and pigeons, my brain kept telling me there is optical trickery involved.

[@Glaciarie]

What a pretty bird! I really like doves, not sure why, I just think they are really lovely

[@TapDanceDruid]

I love diamond doves! I plan to eventually own a few once I'm able to!

[@pm6829]

I Love my Diamond waddles ❤ such a beautiful calm bird.

[@jacksonhunt2490]

I live in NSW Australia in the bush and I see these guys every Day

[@VALENZUELA.RESIDENCE]

amazingly beautiful Dazzle shines as bright as a diamond

[@michaeldacey125]

Thank you👍I just two Diamond Doves...+ I have 5. Parakeet's...love the blog

[@HinduRashtraBharat1947]

I am from West Bengal, India. I love Diamond Dove. 🧡🕊️🧡

[@aritrahan5039]

*goes off to research so other commenters don't have to* Yeah, looks like she's a Blue White-Rump or White-Tail Diamond Dove -- seems there's a market for them as pets due to their color genetics. The eye ring pattern does suggest she's female; the males with that pattern have an even more distinct red ring than typical.

[@inky-boi]

I have 3 birds but that dove is cuuuuutttteee

[@DominoGalaxy]

She is so cute !!!

[@kathleendado4230]

I love diamond doves. I got one several years ago. Unfortunately there was an accident, but she is still special to me and always will be.

[@robinhahnsopran]

Oh my goodness, she's ADORABLE!

[@rogerbeaird5742]

Such a pretty little bird she's very nice 😊

[@animemusicluver1]

I'm going to check Curiousity Stream out! Thanks 😊

[@majesticflamingos]

What a perfect name for her!

[@eileenlester4342]

So beautifuul and precious 💖

[@Ravenzpeak]

Dazzle is beautiful! I have a bird and a question...how do you manage to stay 'tidy' when holding birds? They don't wear diapers!

[@gunasundariganeshbabu7169]

Nice video! Love your channel...I am eagerly waiting for your videos...pls make them a little longer

[@gardentwitcheruk7076]

Lots of great information!

[@turdl38]

wow she's gorgeous!

[@karmajangchup]

Dazzle is beautiful!!!

[@animemusicluver1]

She's beautiful! 😍

[@andriebester]

I picked up a dishevelled little juvenile right in the middle of my street in Cape Town, South Africa, in December 2023. I took it in and decided to name it after the street in which I picked it up, Amanda. It's now almost 6 months later and, as luck would have it, it turned out that Amanda is actually a dude. He's such a delightful little character. Love him to bits.

[@DOLfirst]

Welcome Dazzle 😍

[@GirtheAlienGoldfish]

She's so cute!

[@namdawg1291]

Jessy, you pick such Unique names for your Critters!

[@harolddorsey9179]

We were in pet smart a few months ago,my wife seen ours. Couldn't leave with out her. Diamond looks identical to Dazzle color,eyes. We finally found a gentleman who raises them after months of looking. Got three very very young doves to go with diamond. Now just have to figure out their sex. We also do parrot rescue. Done rescue for years, so these little guys are new to us. We need info on how to tell their sex, other than maturity.

[@DerpyBerb]

Diamond Doves💎 🕊 great Bowie song.

[@Bugside]

My dad has now A BUNCH of those, they reproduce like CRAZY. In person they look really cool, the eye is so orange in contrast it's like fluorescent

[@HerbysHanz]

Hello . 2 Bugside. May I buy one female, please? Thnks.

[@Bugside]

@@HerbysHanz visit us here in Portugal, I suppose lol

[@samortiz5818]

She looks just like my female diamond dove, Prince! (named after the song by Prince “When Doves Cry” lol) She is definitely an adult female. She’s beautiful. DDs are an absolute pleasure to have.

[@I_am_Lauren]

I know your job is difficult and around the clock, but you really have a DREAM JOB!

[@Sab7171999]

I have a diamond dove 😊 they are the best 🥰🥰🥰

[@hrk.videos]

My diamond dove is called new dove and my female one is called old dove

[@jannatulbushra8206]

Mine is named lily.. Its been quite a few months but i still cant get over the fact thay she's so smol n cute🤭

[@davidoinwv2261]

Can you please make a where when how video on doves? I really want doves in the future

[@kyliecarroll765]

Dazzle is beautiful, and your Mana-Tee shirt is amazing 😂

[@luluandfriends5771]

I WANT ONE

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Fantastic idea 6

[@terryheath4542]

I love your animal videos so much I’m like that to animals ❤️❤️🧡🧡😊😊😁😁

[@sandiworka]

Wow

[@eileenlester4342]

Love your tee 👕

[@birdbrain3594]

I love your mana-tea shirt! Where did you get it? 🤩 I love Dazzle, she's cute!

[@elishagardner]

She looks like a lace phase diamond dove from the tiny bit Ive read. And Im guessing def a female by her eye ring. The different morphs dont seem to change the eyes.

[@hoodyg9129]

My diamond dove loves to nest in my palm, and often vibrates(not the wings), when my other hand approach to rub her neck, any idea why?

[@thispandaispurple]

shes got some real pretty eyeliner on

[@williamcrisp6032]

A new friend!!!

[@theoriginalzach4340]

Maranatha!

[@sreelathathonthula2432]

💎

[@Preppyliciousroblox]

@Animalwondersmontana How did you get. Your diamond dove to just be so calm and be able to hold her? My diamond doves never want me to lift them up especially the male the female prefers pets

[@mikeg9b]

Dazzle is a cutie!

[@hobieslegalwife]

i have a diamond dove named salt and he tried to play with Dazzle

[@hunterkat]

Are there wild populations of diamond doves in the US?? I thought they were only in the pet trade

[@Dachdogoriginal]

No. She said it may have been released or escaped.

[@m.cuevastoledo1111]

Lovely beauty...

[@Indiegayass4666]

I miss my diamond doves😭

[@markjoseph7086]

She is so cute ! I might get a dove ! Do they get sick a lot ?

[@bealambwouldya]

I saw these today at petsmart & wanted one 😭I already have 7 parakeets

[@rebeccamontemayor8552]

I bought me one at petsmart and am thinking of going to buy another so mine has a companion.

[@nivhadar32]

Hello, I would like to know if there is a problem raising a pigeon alone without a partner? Is a partner helpful or a hindrance in training? And is there a problem with raising 2 males or 2 females together, in relation to training? Thanks!

[@oyenations162]

I was told by a breeder only the males toots and also that they don't get the puffy eye ring til one year old. He has 600 of them.

[@Patrilafea]

Is it really possible to make them tame? My Diamon Dove don't like me :(

[@DigitalDruidIssie]

Please make a What, Where, How for pigeons! ^^
