My new (and first) baby Diamond Dove! Such sweet birds. He/she doesn't mind being handled and neither does mom and dad!

Congratulations Jenny.

What a cutie. Both parents are beautiful.
I've been tempted by diamond doves a few times, but simply don't have the space.

Thanks! I have to come up with a name for this little sweetie!

delray Since you are the "Media Guru", why do my pictures show up sideways? How do I fix that? My original photo is not that way. Many times I post a photo and it shows up correctly, so I don't know what to expect until it post!

How cute Jen. They start out so awkwardly. Mom looks like a White-rumped Blue and dad is probably a a normal Blue (wild-type) although I could be wrong. I have a pair of each plus a small army they've bred. Although I unexpectedly lost the last chick/squab the White-rumped Blue pair raised.

Jen ok, so if you have an iPhone, go in your photos, click edit. Then, tilt your phone sideways, so the photo comes out regular on the finch forum. Let me know if it works.
