Often times when we do weddings or funerals questions arise about the birds or how others utilize the birds in their services. What we will try to accomplish is to address the questions most frequently asked and show what others are doing to incorporate the birds. If you have questions, or you have had doves used at your wedding or observed the use of white doves that had impressed you please email me at dovesforrelease@yahoo.com.
The area we service is NJ and some area of PA and NY. The birds we use are "rock doves" better known as homing pigeons. These birds are trained out to a distance of 100 miles in either direction from their home base of Creamridge NJ, just as a reference point we are 2 miles west of Great Adventure. These birds are used because of their ability to return home after their release where they are cared for. Domestic ring neck doves are unable to survive the wild and the release of these birds at a ceremony is certain death, either by starvation or become a food source to other animals such as hawks and cats. So please if nothing else when you look for white doves make sure they are homing pigeons.. In the blog we can touch on things to look for when locating a handler for a ceremony, its important to minimize the possibilities of things going wrong and we do want the safety of the birds to be in consideration
I heard this quote and as I get older I believe it to be true that "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away!"and that is what a white dove release does. It takes a wedding ceremony up another level, to where people remember and talk about it long after the wedding service. A release at the grave site where a loved one releases a dove in memory of the one who has died brings comfort to those who are left behind that's what a dove release does.
