Our doves live in a spacious
loft within the Austin city limits. They have plenty of fresh air,
sunshine, nutritious food and clean water. They are exercised daily,
vaccinated against disease, and are banded with the breeders
identification tag. The birds are strong and healthy and are capable of
flying hundreds of miles in proper conditions.
As a member of the Rock Dove
Family, commonly known as white homing pigeons, it is instinctive for the
birds to fly "home," back to safety and security of their loft. The doves
will circle in the sky as they orient themselves to their surroundings, and
then together they will begin their synchronized journey to their home
base. Our doves are carefully trained, and are accustomed to being handled
by people and flying long distances. On "fly days," the birds' food and
water are limited so there is no need to worry that the birds will 'mess'
at an inappropriate moment.

Rock Doves are capable of
flying year round. However, we care very much about the safety of our
birds, and there are certain conditions that will prohibit their release.
