Doves & Pigeons

Doves and pigeons are the gentle heart of the bird world — quiet, graceful, and famously easy to care for. Our Doves & Pigeons collection includes ringneck and diamond doves in a range of colour mutations, and fancy pigeon breeds. These birds are perfect for keepers who want the company of a bird without the vocal volume or chewing intensity of parrots.

Why doves make excellent pets

Doves are monogamous, calm, and famously low-maintenance. They don’t bite, they coo rather than screech, and a bonded pair in a roomy cage will happily spend years together with minimal intervention. They suit apartments, families with young children, and first-time bird owners better than almost any other species. If you prefer something more interactive, have a look at our parrots collection — but for low-effort gentleness, doves are unmatched.

Fancy pigeons

For aviculturists, fancy pigeon breeds are an endlessly fascinating area. Centuries of selective breeding have produced breeds with tumbling flight patterns, extraordinary plumage, and distinctive body shapes. If you’re new to the world of fancy pigeons, ask us — we’ll talk you through breed temperaments and which pair together well.

Care and housing

Doves do well in standard aviaries and large cages. If you’re building your first setup, our bird cages collection has suitable options from reputable European manufacturers. All our doves and pigeons are closed-leg-ringed and come with full documentation. See shipping details for worldwide delivery.
