My new Red Rumps got a cold reception from the Doves...

Dove punches Red Rump repeatedly in the head. When Doves attack!

You may want to set up a second dish elsewhere, it may avoid territorial issues and the red rump from getting injured.

They have food dishes all over the place. This was within the first hour of the Red Rumps being released into the aviary. They are all friends now. The Doves had a go at all the birds when we first put them in the aviary, but they get over it pretty quick.

Yeah. The Doves are super friendly once they get to know everyone.
