Dove is a type of bird that is quite popular in many households. They are very sweet and gentle, and if you have one, you will have to be careful not to leave it alone for too long because it will become depressed.

To keep your dove happy and healthy, you should put it in a cage at least six feet long. If the cage is too small, the dove cannot stretch its wings out.

Like a bird in a cage - this saying wasn't invented for nothing. Restricting a bird that's meant to fly to a small cage is simply cruel, right?

But what about birds that can't fly? They would be someone's lunch out in the wild.

Are you protecting them by keeping them in a cage? That's a big dilemma.

One Redditor asked: "AITA for keeping a caged dove at my shop and letting kids pet it?"

She is an animal lover. She took in a dove that couldn't fly.

She tried to return it to the previous owner, but they wouldn't take it back. So she decided to keep the dove.

She bought a big cage and put it in her shop. But some customers accused her of being cruel.

So now she asks if she is wrong. Read this interesting story below:

"It is incredibly depressing."

One of the greatest things about keeping a dove is the sheer beauty of these birds. But the downside to keeping a dove is that these birds need to be kept in captivity. So, to ensure your dove's happiness, it should be kept in a cage. But as many people point out, a cage can be a pretty boring place for a bird. So, if you're thinking about buying a cage for your dove, here are some things to consider:

-A bigger cage is better, as it will allow your dove to fly around more.

-A metal cage is not recommended because of the risk of metal poisoning.

-If you keep your dove in a cage all the time, you need to add some variety to its diet.
