Is it cruel to keep a dove in a cage?

[Ceiling Cat]

I know a person that keeps a dove in a cage 2 ft. x 2 ft. x 3 ft. The bird is as big as a pigeon.

depends, is the dove into bondage?

 

[Mervyn]

Admit it cat, you just want to bird out so you can eat it.

Seems small, but does the bird get to fly free?

Only if it collects enough airmiles.

If the bird is a member of the Ford entourage, yes!

Not that I know of, I think it is in the cage 24/7.

Does the Dove cry?

 

[FAST]

Why

Actually I think its illegal, to keep a wild bird captive.

FAST

 

[Twister]

Sounds very small, I don't think cages with canaries are any better unless very large.

 

[dirkd101]

Meh, I prefer pheasant under glass. To each his own I suppose.

 

[MYSITEONLY]

A dove should not be caged, let the bird free.

 

[MyHobbyist]

No.. they are stupid and dont know any better!

 

[danibbler]

It's a bit small from the sound of it. Do some more research before taking action.

Doves are pigeons.

Keeping a bird capable of flight in a cage is always cruel. If he lets it out to fly around now and then it might be okay. Otherwise - imagine how much a cat or a dog kept in a cage 24/7 would suffer. Then double it because the bird can and wants to fly.

People who are cruel and thoughtless to animals make me very angry.
