Our doves are known for their exceptional beauty. They are both elegant and graceful in flight, making them a perfect addition for your event.

Our flocks are actually pure white homing pigeons. The white racing homers we see today, used in dove releases, are descended from the rock dove. These beautiful athletes in the sky have come about through man's intervention using selective breeding over many thousands of years. Our homing pigeons (doves) are selectively bred and are not the same as the pigeons you might see in the city parks.

"What happens to the birds after they're released?"

A miracle of nature enables them to find their way home from great distances. Keen senses of hearing, smell, and sight, and the ability to read magnetic fields are thought to be some of the tools they use to complete their successful journey home.

"Will the birds leave droppings on my guests as they fly overhead? "

No. They are not fed until after your event so they won't embarrass themselves or your guests.

"Are birds clean? Do they carry diseases?"

Our domestically raised birds pose no threat to humans or animals. They are vaccinated and wormed for diseases on a regular schedule. Birds love to bathe and keep themselves clean. On the day of your special event, before the birds are loaded up, they will have taken their daily baths.

The birds are in no way harmed -- in fact, they are capable of flying much further than we are willing to send them (some exceptional birds have been known to return home from over 600 miles). Since their health, happiness and safety are our foremost concerns, their flights are limited to around 75 miles. A release is always scheduled early enough to allow them to get home, fed, and safely on their perches before sunset.

Our Release Policy

For the protection of our doves, we must take every precaution to ensure their safety.

• Birds are released outdoors only.
• Birds may be released from sun-up to one hour prior to dark.
• We will not ship birds for self-release.
• We do not release birds in inclement weather, including dense fog, torrential rain, snow, ice, or any other severe conditions.
• We do not release birds beneath power lines or dense tree cover.
• We do not release birds when birds of prey are visible.

We reserve the right to cancel a dove release if conditions and circumstances are not in the best interest of keeping our doves healthy and safe.
