About 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 as homing pigeons and racing pigeons and commonly known as
Rock Doves. Our display doves or "Love Doves" are pure white and
they doves of the Bible. 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! 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".
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.
