The ceremonial releasing of white doves at weddings, funerals or memorial services
is quickly becoming a very popular way of adding that special touch.  

At the conclusion of our services, the white dove helps begin the grieving process
and opens the door to "letting go".  This is sure to live on in the hearts and minds of
all those who attend.
After the committal service, the trained white birds will soar into the sky circling any
number of times before returning back to their loft miles away.

Our birds are actually white homing pigeons.  These hearty birds have a homing
instinct that is unparalleled.  These birds are raised and trained from our New
Bavaria home.  
Our Release Policy
  • We release only well trained, well cared for white racing pigeon stock which
    are banded with personalized bands with either the address, phone or
    breeder information.
  • We will not release birds indoors.
  • We will not release birds at night (two hours before dusk).
  • We will not release birds in inclement weather (fog, rain or snow).
  • We will not release the birds beyond a range they are able to fly.
