This tiny (7-7½") dove from Australia is very popular and found in many different color mutations.

Hardy and easy to feed, they breed freely in aviaries. While they can be kept with any finches or softbills that are not aggressive, they are intolerant of other doves and should be kept one pair per cage or aviary.

A good basic diet consists of mixed millets and some plain canary seed, with a little wild bird seed mixed in.
