Non parrots intermingling with parrots

At some point in my life I really want to get a dove. Though I was curious if said dove could intermingle with whatever parrot(s) I have at the time. It wouldn't be a problem keeping them seperate, I'm just curious if it's a possibility since doves aren't birds of prey.

I'm not a pro but I think it is possible cuz I have seen vids of them together

The only concern I would have is disease transmission.

Doves are housed in a coop and are allowed to fly, seen them doing wide flying laps around their coop over here. Birds that are allowed out and then come back in to mingle with our fids have the possibility of bringing something with them IMO.

Did you see this post? They have a dove in their flock!

This would be my concern also. If the doves were kept as an indoor/outdoor pet (exercised outside) there would be a greater potential for disease transmission.

I remember someone here on the forum that had a pet crow. I don't remember if he had parrots as well.

I have a friend at work that has a cockatiel and found a dove at her backyard door. She kept it inside overnight and let it loose the next morning. The next evening she had 2 doves at her backyard door
She keeps them in seperate cages but has had no problems.
