Common Questions
How do the doves know to come home?
It's one of nature's most incredible mysteries. Homing doves have a built-in navigation system hardwired into their brains. They can fly hundreds of miles in any direction and still find their way home. Even biologists don't fully understand how it works, but we witness this miracle every single day.
What if my event is at night or during bad weather?
We won't release our doves in conditions that could put them in danger. If your event is after sunset, during a storm, or indoors, we'll work with you to find a safe alternative that still honors your celebration beautifully.
Can we hold the doves before releasing them?
Absolutely. Many couples and families love this option. Our doves are calm and gentle, and we'll show you exactly how to hold them safely and comfortably.
How many doves can be released?
That depends on what you envision. We can release a single dove, a pair (especially meaningful for weddings), or a larger flock. We'll discuss your options based on your vision and budget.
How does pricing work?
The cost for our service depends on the number of doves you'd like and the distance we travel to reach you. Contact us for specific pricing based on your event details, and we'll create a package that fits your vision and budget.
How far in advance should we book?
For weddings, we recommend booking as early as possible since dates fill up, especially during peak wedding season. For celebrations of life, we understand timing is often more immediate, and we'll do everything we can to accommodate your needs.
Do you serve areas outside Weeki Wachee?
Yes. Contact us with your location and event details, and we'll let you know if we can serve your area.
What makes you different from other dove release services?
Our birds live in freedom every day, not just on event days. They spend their days flying wherever they choose, playing in our trees, raising their young, and living naturally. At night, they return home to a safe loft. Most companies keep their birds caged full-time. We believe our approach creates a more meaningful symbol and honors both your celebration and the birds who make it special.
