Beautiful, I am starting a pen for some white doves and researching to see if finches or pigeons or any other birds might do well with them?

What kind of white doves?

If they are white pigeons then DO NOT put any other birds with them. They will injure the smaller birds and may even kill them.

If they are white ring neck doves.. then you can mix Diamond Doves, Finches and Canaries with them in a large flight or aviary... even some button quail on the ground area.

If they are only in a big cage then its best to have the doves on their own.

They are ring neck white doves but I planned to put 1 pair of pigeons with them.

"Pigeons"/rock doves (pigeon coined by french etc to denote eating and racing bred bigger weighted and sized rock doves), do not do well with other dove or bird speat all as are strongest most aggressive domestic dove generally, and can kill other dove species. My rock dove breeds mostly get along only with my muscovy ducks even in big pen, free even.

You can not mix ring neck doves with pigeons. Eventually the pigeons will seriously injure the smaller more delicate dove.

Also ring neck doves need a different diet and care than the larger pigeons.

They eat smaller seeds, need thinner perches and branches to roots on, and make small delicate nests that will be ripped apart by a bigger pigeon.

The difference in my opinion is similar to the comparison of a horse to a donkey. Where the fine line really is drawn I have no facts to back up other than our own experiences.

Ring neck doves for example and the like that coo and do "NOT" vocalize in the same manner as pigeons we refer to as doves (they are usually much smaller and not as muscular as the pigeon).

Fanciers on the other hand would dispute scientific findings.
