Diamond Doves

I had been watching a pair of Silver Diamond Doves at Petco for the past 4 months. The seperated them and had them in small box areas with no lites on them. I finally watched them long enough and bought them. They are so pretty. I was watching the male and it seems he is blind. Just the way he holds his head and when I move my hand around his head he does not move. I was going to find them good homes which is why I got them, but I believe they will just have to stay with me.....Need some name suggestions. Male and Female.

Oh, Diamond Doves are so darling!

I was buying rabbit toys at a local PetSmart a few months back and I kept hearing this odd cooing sound... They had one diamond dove in a cage full of other birds (I can't recall if they were finches OR budgies ). Anyhoo, that wee little bird was about one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

I haven't seen one in there since...

I'm terrible w/ names (right now I have Beetle the Lovebird and Cricket the Holland Lop) so I'm apt to tell you to name the female Kitty and the male Puppy... or Frick and Frack? Paul and Paula?

I like the Behind the Name website. You can find names from all over the world.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the name suggestions. I named them Ash and Willow. They are doing great.
