Dear Abby- there is a difference between white doves and white homing pigeons

Filed under: White Birds — George Marcum @ 11:19 am

The headline reads “Certain death, not freedom, follows doves” in today’s Dayton Daily News. It’s Dear Abby weighing in on releasing white doves at weddings.

Yes, releasing raised in captivity white doves would be deadly to the birds- however, we don’t release doves, we release trained white homing pigeons that fly back to our coop.

If you are planning a wedding in Dayton Ohio and want to have a spectacular release of white birds in your ceremony, our birds will give you that effect- and all of them will return safely home.

If releasing white pigeons doesn’t sound as sexy as releasing white doves, realize that the two birds are almost identical.
