About the Release
We can make any special occasion unforgettable, and we specialize in
weddings that will provide wonderful memories to last a lifetime. When the
doves are released, they usually circle several times overhead, allowing the
crowd to fully admire their beauty. A dove release is a symbolic and
breathtaking touch for every wedding from the most intimate ceremony to
the grandest affair.
The birds are in no way harmed -- in fact, they are capable of flying
hundreds of miles to find their way home. Their health, happiness and safety
are our primary concern.
About the Doves
While "dove" is the term we use symbolically, the flocks are actually
white homing pigeons. There is virtually no difference between doves and
pigeons. The white racing homers we use in dove releases, are descendants
from the rock dove. The main distinguishing factor between doves and
pigeons is that doves are generally smaller than pigeons. Doves mate for life
and symbolize Love, Peace, Fidelity, Prosperity, and Good Luck.
After the doves are released the use their remarkable ability to "home",
and this enables them to fly great distances and find their way back to their
loft. 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
journey.
