We have a diamond dove and I think she provides the best ratio of love to nuisance of any pet ever. All she needs is new food and water and a new paper towel bedding every now and then, and in return she rides on our shoulder or sits on our wrist all day long, cooing when we talk to her and preening our fingernails. Most people will tell you diamond doves must be in a pair, but that is because they need companionship: if you can provide that companionship (at least an hour together a day, the more the better) then the bird will bond to you as its partner and love you forever. They are not like parrots in that they are too stupid to be angry or petty; they cannot bite; their claws are not big enough to hurt you; their poops are round and dry and can be vacuumed up; they swallow seeds whole, so no seed shells everywhere.
