1. What happens to the doves when they are released.?
We start training our doves at a very early age to return to the loft.

2. How do they know where home is ?
Nobody really knows, a well-trained dove appears to use many sensors to "navigate". Although not clearly
understood, their ablilty depends on good health, and extensive training with a knowledgeable handler.

3. What time of day is best for a release ?
The specific time of day is flexible, but we never release less than 1 hour to sunset to ensure enough time for
the birds to safely reach home.

4. At what point in the celebration should the birds be released ?
This is entirely up to you ! There can be a lot creativity in the timing and location of your release.

5. What if it rains on the day of our event ?
For 'Acts of God' such as rain, snow, or high winds we reserve the right to cancel the event. In this event
all deposits are fully refundable.

6. How do you prevent the birds from making a mess ?
Just like human athlete's our birds have a special diet before big event's so they can perform at top levels
without "messing up".
