Hi to everyone in bird world. My name is Peter living in Shepparton Victoria. I currently keep 10 different species of Doves and Pigeons both Australian Native and Introduced. I'm interested in finding out what species of Finch co habitant well with Doves. If anyone has first hand experience in keeping both, I would be very happy to to be advised.
I am also seeking help in locating anyone who keeps Ruddy Turtle Doves.

Hello, welcome to the forum.

I know quite a number of people who have a pair of diamond doves in their mixed finch collections—they seem to get along with pretty much anything. I'm not much of a dove/pigeon person myself, so I can't advise you any further than that. I'm sure there will be others on the forum with more experience in this area.

Hi and welcome to the forum, Peter! I am quite experienced with zebra finches, if you are a beginner finch keeper start with those first as they are very hardy and breed easily for you. As long as you have enough room, the two species will get along fine under one roof. Have a look at the separate forums before you post anything as your question might have been already covered.
Have a nice winter with your birds!
Have a nice day!
Sincerely, Cathy
