Description

This is one of my diamond doves, Julianna. I thought I had one of just Gonzago, but it didn't turn out. I'll have to try again another time.

Julianna had been special ordered from a petstore by a lady, who, after a while, decided to bring her back. The store wasn't going to take her back, but the lady was being a TOTAL *&^%$#@! about it. She threatened to let Julianna go outside! The store then started to scramble to try to make room for the little dove, and I THINK someone went to the back to call AC or the police. I was there and watching, and I was so disgusted. I told them all that I would take her- and they let me have her. She actually has a now healed broken wing. She was SO desperate for company, she almost hurt herself trying to get to the finches when I first brought her home and had her in a seperate cage- so I almost immediately moved her, and she settled right in.

The cage she is in is a modified ferret cage. I needed something more structurally sound than my old finch cage, and this one gave them the solidity I needed, as well as excellent horizontal flight room, but the bar spacing was too big. The finches could just fly right through! So I wrapped some garden netting around it, and that worked out great. And then, against the back I have cardboard- to help keep seed and feathers in the cage and poo off the walls!
