White "Rock Doves" are used for all humane releases. They are strong, intelligent and possess a homing instinct. With extensive training, the doves are able to return home safely. They fly by the sun, find their bearings by atmospheric infrasound's and can also navigate with a magnetic sense to locate north. The pure white dove can travel as much as 600 miles in a day at the speed of approximately fifty-five miles per hour Doves have strong bonds, they choose a mate and then remain together through |

| The much smaller true white dove, available at pet shops and raised in captivity to be used as a pet, or as used in magic shows, does not have the natural ability to return home or survive in the wild. The practice of releasing these white doves is both cruel and inhumane. To do so would most likely result in its death. In order to make sure my doves are in good condition, they are constantly being trained and exercised. I make a considerable investment in my doves, not only in my heart and my time and effort, but financially as well. For this reason I only do releases in good weather and at a time that will allow them to return home before dark. If, after a deposit is given, the weather is will not permit a release the deposit will be refunded |
