Post subject:  What food do doves eat

i recently bought babery doves at an auction and i bought them the 20 k milo grain food, i found out that they are very skinny and not eating?? :shock: :shock: what food do they eat? i first tried the pigeon mix but some of the food is too big, i don't want them to go soo soon, especially when the breeder said to me that they about to lay again very soon... :cry:

Any help would be much appreciated :-D :-D

Mine eat Finch mix and love to graze on greens and some seed heads. Do you have their food suspended?

Most doves are ground feeders so maybe scatter seed on the floor of the avairy.
