Frequently Asked Questions:

Where do the doves go?
After being carefully released Rock Doves {homing doves} fly home to their loft in Woodfin, where they will have food and water and a family to come home to.

How far can they fly?
Many hours and miles go into the training of the doves.  Like athletes they exercise regularly, have good diets, and gradually build up the endurance to fly many miles back home.  They love to fly and will be trained to approx. 50-60 miles of their loft.

Will the doves defecate on me? 
Good question! As professionals, we feed the birds when they arrive home after an event. When the doves fly, their legs are tucked into their back tail feathers preventing them from dropping (you know what).

Can we hold the doves and release one?
You must work with a "dove handler" and be taught to hold one correctly and release it.

Can the doves fly at night?
No, we require ample time for them to return home before dark or seriously dangerous weather.

Can they be released indoors?
No, the doves need an open unrestricted place to be released outdoors.
