Bird Welfare
The most common question we are asked is “what happens to the doves when they are released”? The answer is they fly home very quickly as they have both a strong natural homing instinct and they are trained regularly from when they first start showing a love of flying when they are youngsters.
In order that they develop into strong birds our doves are fed the very best diet of mixed corn, vitamins, minerals and grits.
All our doves are kept in a completely natural environment, flying free all day every day and secure at night from predators, pecking around in our garden (unfortunately for the garden eating the flowers and plants) and bathing whenever they wish.
They also breed naturally choosing their own mates and usually staying together for life.
Please feel free to visit us to see our doves at home and appreciate the happy life that they enjoy. It is probably this enjoyment of their home life that causes them to fly back home so quickly!
