Released by you, for you

Our beautiful, elegant doves are pure-bred white homing pigeons, trained specially for releases.

They are similar to doves, except they are stronger and fitter and can be released from anywhere in Essex and can travel back with ease to their lofts in Chelmsford, however release times need to be within daylight hours to allow them to get back safely before dusk.

They reside in their own clean, dry lofts located in our back garden and receive daily interaction from us and our children at least three times a day.  They are handled and trained daily, take weekly baths and roam freely about our garden.

In Summer, and after their bath, they relax and sunbathe on the grass.  They are inquisitive characters, with amazing grace; they sometimes venture into the house for a look around - and to annoy the cat!

They are as pampered as any well-loved pet can be.  They are vaccinated and treated with tonics and treatments to keep them healthy and strong.

They are a popular sight around the neighbourhood, with many people stopping us to ask after them. Our birds are very tame and happy to be held, and released, by the public (children from as young as four years of age can handle and release our birds, with no fear) our children have been brought up amongst the birds and have handled them regularly straight from the nest.

A dove release can be carried out by you, and/or your family and friends following a short instruction on how to handle them safely and securely, both for you and the bird.

Our doves are very polite and will not mess your clothing; they are given a very light meal prior to release to ensure this. We do, however, carry hand sanitiser and cleansing wipes for your comfort, following the handling of our doves.

We pride ourselves on the condition of our doves and the work they do to ensure every release is a success for us and a memorable occasion for you


Our Doves, Cherishing your Love
