Between diamond doves and a holland lop.
I am committed to spending time with either pet and I will be able to clean either cage whenever it needs to be cleaned. I do have the money to get all the supplies it needs and I also have a vet for them.
I simply can’t decide on which one to get. I’m not sure which one is lower maintenance, but I think the lower maintenance one better would do better with my family. I also have two cats and I’m not sure which would do the best with cats.
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Rabbit’s would do better with cats. So you should get a rabbit!

I think u can communicate more with rabbits, but if you want a bird the best thing is to buy a parrot although it is expensive (the talking one).
but i think a rabbit is better because birds live a miserable life in cages, but you can put a rabbit in ur garden (if you have one).

If I were you, I’d get a rabbit. I **** to see birds caged. I don’t like to see rabbits contained in a hutch either (I used to have a guinea pig, but s/he had the entire basement to roam around in and only came to eat at the cae and used it as a toilet).

Read everything onthis website before you get a rabbit! It will radically change your and your rabbits lives!

It depends, rabbits are more interactive than diamond doves. Diamond doves are I believe, lower maintenance than rabbits.
Diamond doves cost less than rabbits. If you decide to buy one, plan on buying two as diamond doves are social and generally do not like human interaction. They do not need daily time out of their cage, as they are more of an ornamental birds (unlike parrots and other high maintenance birds, who need daily time out of their cage and interaction from their caretakers). Their diet consist mostly of seeds, fresh water, and cuttlebone for calcium.
Rabbits are social animals and DO need daily time out of their cage and interaction from their owners. Keep in mind that spayed/neutered rabbits live longer and healthier lives than rabbits who don’t get spayed or neutered. Their diet consist mostly of hay, pellets, and vegetables, and fresh water. Fruits should only be given as treats.
I suggest you get a rabbit. Cats carry a bacteria called pasteurella, and it’s very dangerous to birds. One swipe of it’s claw or a bite from it’s mouth could kill a bird if not treated. You should still keep a close eye on your rabbit and cat when interacting.
