Question ❓ What can I do do bond with my adult dove?
my dove is around 18 months old, and I’ve had her for around 9 months. She had come from a bird store so I assume that she hadn’t had much interaction with people before I got her. She will eat from my hand but that’s really it, she runs from my hand (which is strange because she used to be fine with me putting my hands by her and petting her) and gets really ruffled up if I get too close.
Im a first time bird owner so I’m kind of at a loss of what I can do to bond with her at this point.
