You're doing great in your English. And thank you for joining this group, by the way. I'm very glad to have you with us.

As for your question, let me first say that I have no experience with raising fruit-eating doves or keeping them in captivity. I've often heard and read that they are difficult to keep and don't do well being domesticated because they are very sensitive to changes in the sort of food and habitat they are used to in the wild. Having said that, I don't know if they can be taught to learn to eat other foods like seeds; I would make an educated guess and say they cannot be taught to learn.

Of course, there might be people that have probably kept them successfully enough to teach them. My suggestion would be for you to contact a zoo or animal reserve that keeps fruit-eating doves and ask their keepers that question. They will know for sure.

I hope my answer has helped. And if anyone that happens to read this can provide a different answer from their experience, I welcome you to post it here.
