While it is not one of the most common pet species, I have personally had a neighbor who had a flock of doves when I was a kid. He kept at least 20~30 of them in a large bird house. Every day he had to "kick" them out to get them some exercises. They would always come back after flying just a circle around the neighborhood. I remember he was feeding them raw rice and mung beans. Not sure about the details. I heard my dad said his doves had won some kind of dove competition. In my opinion, it is a lot of responsibilities to have a flock of doves, but it is also a lot of fun since they are one of the few pet birds that you can let out. They always remember their way home.
