About Doves
There
are many species of doves, worldwide.
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 Love Doves are a pure white variety of Ring-neck
Doves.
Doves have been domesticated for many centuries. Their ability of Release Doves 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 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.

Wedding Release Doves |
Love Doves |
|
Our Wedding Release Doves are snow white and have been bred especially for ceremonial releases. They will return to their home loft from distances and all of the parents of our young babies are "working birds" at Catalina White Dove lofts in Tucson Arizona, performing regularly at weddings, funerals and other events.

Our display doves or "Love Doves" are pure white, and they are the doves of the Bible. They are the doves you see in magic shows, and they make wonderful pets. You can keep them in an indoor cage and enjoy their gentle coos. The Pure White "Love Doves" are smaller than the Release Doves, and they are perfect for a cage display but cannot be released. They are often used in conjunction with the White Wedding Release Doves. |
