What better way to memorialize any event than with the release of pure white doves? The inspiring sight of a multitude of gorgeous white birds taking to the air in a flutter of graceful wings is an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime.
Doves may be given in lieu of flowers, or in addition to them. Our members are devoted to their birds and dedicated to presenting professional white dove releases. We look forward to working with you to help present and event of a lifetime!
Many hours go into their training and care so that when released from a site they will return home. We will only release our birds when conditions allow their safe return to their home.
Please Note: The smaller doves should never be used as they will almost certainly perish. They have little homing ability and are not suitable to surviving in the wild.
Instead, white homing pigeons are trained and used for white dove releases. These beautiful white birds are a domestic pigeon derived from the Rock Dove (Columba livia domestica) and are selectively bred for returning home over long distances.
The wild rock pigeon has a natural homing ability and will return to its own nest and its own mate. This has made it relatively easy to breed birds that have repeatedly found their way home over very long distances. The birds have been recorded on flights as long as 1,100 mi (1,800 km) in pigeon racing.
Their average flying speed over a distance of 500 miles is about 50 mph (80 km/h), but speeds of up to 110 mph (177 km/h) have been observed in top racers for short distance (100 miles).
The area a dove release company actually serves is varied.
