Question
I've tried millet, parakeet food, wild feed and I still do not know what they want to eat. Can you help?

Answer
Ringneck doves do well on a diet of various grains and seeds including millet, milo, wheat, black sunflower, canary grass, safflower and cracked corn. A high quality wild bird seed mix is excellent, or commercial dove mixes may be purchased from many local feed stores. As with all seed-eating doves a quality, high-calcium grit should be offered as well.
