This of course is where my inept-ness in bird-tology comes in :-/ .
I thought doves were doves.  (With of course some "Breeds" being harder to
"Cross-Breed" than others).  The store owners, (where both pairs were
purchased), seemed to feel that these two breeds will mate.   The resulting
mixture is called, "Pikes"???

>I don't know anything about captive doves.

It seems to me that the very first person to write a DETAILED book on doves and
pigeons will make millions!!  The only 2 books I have found so far are written
by the same author who explains breeding technics as, "Fun and enjoyable", 
end of explanation.  No sexing description, no hints on environment, NOTHING!!!

That is why I turned to your group, though the day after, I did notice that
there was some postings discouraging the use of this group for "pet birds".
My feeling was, "If anyone would know about the natural habitat/environment of
doves, it would be a bird watching group..."  Sorry for the waisted band width
on this subject!  (Gotta start reading those group ethics articles!!) 

Thanks for the interest!  :-)
