BUY A DOVE

Many people ask where and how to purchase doves. The two domestic species (Ringneck Streptopelia risoria and Diamond Geopelia cuneata) are often available at your local pet store. Keep in mind that there are many color varieties of each species available and that pet stores typically only have one or two of these available. Perhaps the better idea is to get in touch with a dove breeder who is likely to have a larger variety of color combinations as well as a selection of some of the exotic dove species.

Don't know any local dove breeders? That's OK! When it comes to purchasing doves from a breeder, there is some good news... Since the US Postal Service considers doves as "poultry" they may be shipped via overnight Express Mail quite economically therefore they are quite accessible from all across the country.

Below is a listing of breeders who offer doves and other birds or items for sale and most would be happy to ship them right to your door.
