Wow they are really pretty. For some reason they remind me of seagulls, but more delicate.

They are about the size of a diamond dove. However, their tails are a lot longer. The peruvian ground doves are a bit larger than the other two species, but are all fairly small birds.

Those are gorgeous. It is very seldom that I see doves at bird fairs. Once in a while I see really expensive ones. Coming to think of it I don't even see diamond doves at my local bird fairs.

These birds are remarkably calm. I've read they are easy to tame and breed. I think baby capes would be so cute... Wish us luck!

Nope, that's the female.
