thinking of getting a ringneck dove, but not sure if i will have

self bump i need halp

I don't know, anon. I'm not sure if it's good for them to be alone. I have one fantail pigeon because he was really sick when he was younger. He usually doesn't seem too affected, but I think he just tries to play it off. His social skills are shit, he tries to fuck my chicken, and there's a chance your dove still won't bond with you.
And even if it does, do you know what kind of shit you'll have to go through? Some doves peck people's hands and attack after being left alone too long as punishment. They can draw blood. Then you have them throwing up on your hand to try and kiss you, humping your hand, pecking you for no reason, and the cooing. The constant "u want sum fuk" cooing.

I wouldn't do it personally, but depending on when you work and how good you are at understanding the signs of a lonely depressed dove, you might be able to pull it off.
Keep in mind every single dove and pigeon website will advise you not to. It's not natural for them.

Birds need pretty much constant care and attention or they can get depressed. A person who works full time should NOT get a bird. Those 8 hours you are gone will stress the bird out.
