I have a potential problem.
   
I was given a white dove a couple of years ago that someone found on the street. It's wings were clipped so it wasn't wild. I love birds so I accepted it. A few months later my nephew saw some kids playing with another white dove, he didn't want it hurt, so he asked me if I wanted it. (He knew I already had one). Of course I said "yes".
   
Well, they fell in love! Doves mate for life, and these two sure do mate!
   
I now have 5 of their offspring, it would have been six, but a friend wanted one.
   
My dilema is...I can't bring myself to separate them. But I also can't destroy any eggs that the female lays. I am against abortion and I deeply feel that I would be taking the life of a dove if I interfered with the egg by breaking it, etc.
   
They are in a very large cage, and are well cared for, and loved. But I know they will continue to have more.
   
I need some suggestions please! This problem I have with taking the eggs away is a moral issue for me. I also don't want to sell them because I would worry if they were in a good home.
   
So if anyone can figure out something that will please me, and the doves, God bless you! Thanks for reading!
