There's no gentle way to put it: Purchasing doves for you to release yourself is considered unethical and inhumane by those who value the wellfare of animals - anyone who would knowingly sell you birds for you to release does not play a part in the ethical standards many avians uphold. Also, the white ringneck variety of doves found in pet shops do not fly well and will quickly become prey or will perish from hunger. Our doves are "rock dove" descendants, bred for their homing ability, and have been bred, raised and trained extensively to joyfully perform for you. Additionally, release doves are trained differently from regular racing homers. We embrace and employ the ethical standards established by the WHITE DOVE RELEASE PROFESSIONALS. There are many, many dove listings out there on the internet -- but the WDRP is the ONLY group that screens it's applicants to ensure that members are top-notch professionals in the business, and that their care and practices with the birds are of the highest ethical standards. Our White Dove Release Policy:As stipulated in the White Dove Release Professionals organizational rules, we adhere to the following guidelines...
