So ... what are they like? (handleability)

lMAO - I wouldn't consider one :no: - definitely not for the average rep keeper like me. They are awesome though. I have more than enough with my :psychotic parrot!

Wow, no we haven't hijacked this thread.. nope.

edit* disregard, carry on ;)

Ooh, you have a dove? What kind? I adore them, and have even considered breeding diamond doves in the future and/or masked cape doves. :)

I have a ringneck dove. His name is Chocolat. He's orangish tan with white feather tips. He coos and laughs a lot, silly boy.

I've also held baby Sinaloans. They never bit or musked, and were good little worms. :) So TINY though!

I guess I'm biased to Sinaloan Milksnakes.

Lynn, that little guy used to musk me all the time! Glad to see he has calmed down for you a bit.

Awwh! :) They're such sweet silly birds. I love our cockatiel, but the doves are much better for my mental health, lol. Very mellow with coos and giggles and snuggling together all the time. /(^v^)\

If only I could have every pet out there. They all have their own personalities and things that make them great pets! Except maybe scorpions or tarantulas. I dont understand the attraction there.

I promised my mother never to get a pet spider. She's horribly arachnaphobic and I'd never see her again, lol. I have a much better chance of getting her over her snake issues ;)

I know what you mean though about wanting one of everything, lol. That's part of why doing so much critter homework is so good. Once I figure out what sorts of animals suit our home best by temperment and care (snakes, bunnies, doves, etc) it's much easier to talk my fiancee into them. :aww:
