african ring-neck dovesAfrican Ring-neck Doves
Our exotic ring-neck doves were brought in as discarded as pets. Being African they would not survive in our harsh winter months. During the summer and early fall they enjoy our warm Muskoka weather but during the winter they have the heat and security of the barn.



Diamond Doves






White Dove










Male Diamond Dove (Blue White Rump), 7 months old




These are the type that unscrupulous/unknowledgeable breeders are selling as "Silver Diamond Doves." They are not. They are simply the wild color Diamond Dove with a White Rump gene (which also dilutes the color of the whole body.) They have very dark (almost black) primary wing feathers. These are a very beautiful and very COMMON variety.
