Breeding facilities for fruit doves
Aviaries, sheltered indoor areas and well-structured husbandry spaces are an important basis for stable stocks and successful breeding within the European Fruit Dove Project.
Practical insight into fruit dove husbandry
This page shows how members, private breeders and zoological institutions plan, structure and improve their facilities. The focus is not on perfect show aviaries, but on practical experience: which aviary size works well, how indoor areas are kept frost-free, and which planting, perches and retreats prove useful in daily husbandry.
In the long term, approved facility profiles will be shown here. Members should be able to maintain draft profiles in the protected members area; publication will only happen after review by project coordination or the board.
What a facility profile should include
Facilities from the project
Older project content already contains facility examples from private breeders and zoological institutions. These records are not published automatically; they are treated as a migration source for future reviewed facility profiles.
