About White
Doves
Doves have been
domesticated for many centuries. Their ability to return home
from long distances has long baffled ALL scientists. No one
quite knows how they find their way home, but they think it's
possibly linked to the Sun's position and the Earth's magnetic
fields at any given time, although memory may also play a role.
Our Release Doves are all Columba Livia -- the same kind of bird
that served historically as homing and racing pigeons, and are commonly
known as Rock Doves. Our display doves or "Love Doves" are pure
white and they are the doves of the Bible.
Doves mate for life with a lasting bond. They are loyal, gentle
and devoted to each other. Two babies are usually produced, and
the parents feed them "crop milk."
Doves hold a special place in the hearts of mankind, and their
image harkens back to biblical times when Noah released a dove
to help him find land. What better tribute than to include them
in your celebration!
Our doves live in a Loft that is specially constructed for their
comfort. They are allowed to fly free several times a week and
enjoy being released at events where they will fly straight home
to their comfy loft. If you would like a tour of the loft, that
can be easily arranged.
