May 29,2008:
PIGEONS MASQUERADING AS DOVES FLY
SAFELY HOME AFTER RELEASE

April 28, 2008:
Dear Abby
"CERTAIN DEATH, NOT FREEDOM, FOLLOWS
THE WINGS OF A DOVE"

The purpose of this letter is about the comments
published on April 28th, 2008 from “Dear Abby:
"certain death follows the wings of a dove”
It was said the doves will die after they are released.
She asked a “docent at a local zoo” about it
and he agreed.
Abby did not do any research on this business. Just
published a very damaging letter to this industry
nationwide.

This letter is concerning the safety and identity of
"doves" that are released at weddings, funerals, and
other special events.

Doves and Pigeons belong to the Columbidae Family.

The Ringneck Dove, Ring Dove, or Barbary Dove,
(Streptopelia risoria), is a small domestic the kind
you buy at the local pet store.

The Rock Dove or Rock Pigeon (Columba Livia)
comes in many different breeds, and the one breed we
as people who release doves use is the White Homing
Pigeon which is very similar to a White Dove.

The White Rock Doves (homing pigeons) are bigger
and stronger with ability to return home and is the only
breed that should be used. They are trained to return
home. Most companies have a Release Policy by
which they release the White Homing Pigeons to
protect them.
We hope that we can get the right information to
people so that Ringneck Doves from the pet store
doves aren't released.

Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.
