Petey the ring-necked dove gets pets and massage

[@Isivryn]

Why are doves so cute!? He looks like a fluffy toasted marshmallow :D

[@allyrudolph]

😂😂 Aww ❤ this is so true and made me giggle out loud. I think they’re so cute because the dove is said to be God’s favorite animal. :)

I bet his feathers are so soft.

Peter needs a little beak sander

[@allyrudolph]

I got him a cuttle bone. He also wasn’t getting enough vitamin C so I started to give him red berries a few times a week. His energy level is higher, so he plays more and keeps his beak down on his own by pecking his wooden perch.

Very cute

[@bluelazyprofilegirl5302]

I just noticed that Petey has something wrong with his beak so I wanted to ask if he's okay because it looks overgrown almost.

[@allyrudolph]

He’s about 18 years old now, getting up there in age. He was refusing to eat his calcium grit when I recorded this video, and lack of calcium is usually what causes a beak to do this. Since then, I’ve been putting calcium powder in his water and his beak is back to normal.

@@allyrudolph aww, old man

[@yay4meluigi]

A vet can carefully trim their beaks too. It looks extremely overgrown in the video. Very cute though!

[@sauce4422]

Any pigeon or dove, if he dont use his beak to hit the floor it will overgrow so if you have a dove or a pigeon make sure he will have something to peck so his beak dont grow to much

[@quirogatnonerrat3214]

Cute fluff😍😍😍😍😍

[@evaavi4412]

His beak seems to crook a little due to overgrowth, make sure a vet trims it down if you ever encountered something like this again. I have a scissor beaked pigeon in my care currently and I'm quite nervous about when I'll have to trim his beak to be honest.

[@allyrudolph]

Yes, this was because he was refusing to eat his calcium grit at the time. I started giving him calcium powder in his water about a year ago. Problem solved a long time ago :)

How did you get them to be so tame?

[@allyrudolph]

I talk to them a lot, usually with a soft, high pitched tone or sometimes a goofy, spunky tone. I wave to them very often when I can see them from another room. I also say “Hi, Petey” or “Hi, Ernie” when I can. I interact with them and let them out of their cages as much as I can. And make soft, gentle eye contact a lot. I laugh when they laugh. Treat them like babies. I sometimes sing songs to all of my pets like lullabies. They love all of that. Animals are more like people than we might think.
