Your wedding day is a unique and unforgettable occasion, and releasing doves can add a magical touch to your celebration. This memorable ceremony will be something you cherish for a lifetime. To arrange a dove release, we can help you find a reputable service provider within approximately 50 miles of your location. Most dove release professionals will assist you with your planning and typically offer various packages or displays to choose from.

We breed and sell ringneck doves, which are ideal as pets rather than for release. You can enjoy our doves at home and treat them as part of your family, just like dogs or cats. Our doves are not suited for life in the wild, as they may encounter predators and harsh weather conditions. We prioritize their safety and well-being, which is why we have partnered with local professionals who specialize in dove releases to assist you with any release needs you may have.

Many people mistakenly buy ringneck doves from pet stores for the purpose of releasing them. While these doves are related to the ones typically used for such events, they are not the right type to be released into the wild. Instead of releasing them, consider providing a suitable home and proper care for these birds. They lack a homing instinct and have no place to return to if set free. Typically, they will just fly to the nearest tree, and due to their white color, they are unlikely to survive long in the wild. Please avoid making this mistake.

Most trained homing pigeons can return home from distances of up to 600 miles, with some even going beyond that range. Our local dove release service providers operate within a radius of 50 to 300 miles, ensuring that the doves return to their loft within 24 hours or less from the time of release. This demonstrates their impressive speed and efficiency.

The average cost of dove release services in the New York City area typically ranges from $75 to $700. Prices can vary depending on location, time of year, and the specific type of occasion or service required. It is advisable to book several weeks in advance to secure the best rates. Be open and clear about your needs when communicating with the dove release professionals, and provide specific details regarding your desired date and time. Most providers are willing to accommodate your needs at a fair rate once we connect you with one based on your service location.

Doves are trained from a young age to perform their tasks effectively. They usually fly around the area multiple times, giving their viewers the chance to appreciate their beauty. It's important to recognize that pigeons, which belong to the Columbidae family, are intelligent birds. They have the ability to navigate back to their lofts safely and can avoid dangers from wild predators. However, certain restrictions are in place to ensure their safety. Most professional dove releasers do not allow doves to be released indoors, and releases should not take place later than three hours before dusk.

When working with a professional dove releaser, keep in mind the following important restrictions: due to unforeseen circumstances such as rain, snow, or high winds, they reserve the right to cancel the event. These precautions are essential for guaranteeing the well-being of the doves, which is a top priority when handling them.
