It has wings that are a darker shade, with silver or white parts. The bill of the bird is dark and dim in shade. The stomach area has a smooth shade, while the tail and back are dim dark. Its feet and legs are pinkish.
The flying creature is dimorphic. This means that it is possible to distinguish between the male and female of this specie. The male and female of this species have red eye rings, but the male has a larger eye ring.
Diamond Doves are easy to maintain and are a popular choice for newbies due to their small size and beautiful appearance. It is social, but it prefers to be with a pair of males and females. It is a quiet bird and will not nip at the owner when being handled.
This winged creature should be kept in an aviary where it has the opportunity to fly freely and communicate with other fowls. This delicate creature can’t protect itself if it’s grouped with larger fowls.
The cooing is not as loud as other parrots. However, you may hear it when they are in a pair. This breed is great for those who have lofts or live alone and do not want to disturb neighbors.
Jewel Dove will fly more safely if it has a larger pen. The pen floor must be consistently perfect, since the Jewel Dove likes to wander around. Also, wire-bottomed confines will not be suitable. It loves to shower so it should be equipped with a dish for the shower.
It enjoys the opportunity to consume seeds. In this way, it should be given a choice of vegetables and other natural products that are suited to their diet to allow them to access gritting. This flying creature is often cold in winter and should be placed where there’s light warmth.
Diamond Dove is more attracted to rushes and sets, as it has a high need for companionship. When it is young, the Diamond Dove can be very affectionate, but it takes time and constant attention to train. Once tamed, it will be gentle and sweet, for instance, by dressing its owner in light pecks and coos.
The females prefer open areas, scoops, and container homes with an open-topped top. It will nestle in anything it finds, including a seed dish. The owner should be cautious about when the female begins mating behavior.
The male sings mostly in two tones. Moreover, the male displays its tail feathers by bowing his head slightly while raising his tail. The two of these winged animals will stay together and shower each with pecks.
