Michael,
It all depends on the bird. I had a quick look at several local web
sites advertising birds for sale and saw no ads for Barbary Doves
(just Google "doves sale australia"). I know Barbary Doves are popular
with some breeders, as they regularly throw different coloured and
patterned sports and breed very well. I would say that the ones you
are seeing are ones that some soft hearted/headed breeder can't find a
market for and lets them go.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

How do owners of caged birds usually dispose of unwanted birds, for

Does the trade provide any assistance?
I couldn't find anything on the Internet and would like to know
because I suspect the local Barbary Doves (back after 6 months) are
excess birds released (illegally) into the bush.
