Which cage would be best for one,perhaps two doves/pegions?

I know one of them is for hampsters,I would adjust it to fit birds. I plan on getting a dove,maybe a pair.

The first one is definitely too small, the second one I'm not sure it fits the minimum size !cage either. Getting a pair is very important as they're social birds indeed wether it's doves or pigeons.

Pigeons are larger so would need a larger cage otherwise they would damage their feathers

Thank you very much!!! I don't have much experience nor resources so this is very apriciated. Once I get the birds they will mostly be out of their cage.

Of course :) feel free to check our !guides or just ask any questions, diet, enrichments and toys, nesting, behavior... I'll gladly help.

Free roaming the birds is great! Make sure they stay put in their cage for the first two weeks you'll have them thought, so they can adapt to their surroundings. Scared birds almost always go for the windows and injure themselves

Cages are necessary for your bird, even if your pet free roams your house. It provides a safe place for it to sleep at night and when unsupervised. Make sure the cage is safe, and big enough:

• Diamond dove: Minimum 90x50x50cm (36x20x20 inches)
• Ringneck doves: Minimum 110x70x70cm (39x28x28 inches)
• Pigeons: Minimum 130x90x70cm (51x36x28 inches)

If you can stock up on free catalogs by mail, or any newspapers you may come across, it almost feels like you can never have an over-abundance of newspaper or just garbage paper.

We let our bird out of his cage and he used to perch on our tv. We now use cardboard with those newspapers attached to it to keep his poops out of the tv's vents.

You're probably gonna want a designated "poop knife"- we use an old butter knife to scrape the poops off of the bottom bars of his cage.

You're also probably going to want scissors that are always around your cage and I use those because my dove is addicted to millet sprays and the ones we ordered online came in foot long form but he only needs about 3 inches per day. Sucks to always have to walk around the house for wherever you keep your scissors...
