About Our Services and Our Doves


At TRUE DOVE WAYS we use pure bred White Logan Rock Doves, because they are the only doves that have the homing instinct. Any other dove cannot return safely to its cote and would suffer in the wild.

After each release the doves return to our garden, usually arriving home before us, and let themselves into their loft, where there will be food and water waiting for them.

Our doves are exercised every day. They are let out of the loft in the morning and fly freely around the house until they decide to let themselves back into their loft. Most of our doves like to stay on the roof of our house until they are called for "dinner" just before dusk.

The doves are bred and lovingly looked after by our family.




…………………We often get asked…………………
"Will the Doves Poo on my Wedding Dress"

This is highly unlikely as birds usually poo whilst perched on a branch or ledge.

The co-ordinator will pass the doves to you with their legs tucked under their body which is the most comfortable way for them to be held. This physically makes it very hard for them to "poo" from this position.


We have never had this happen to date, but cannot accept responsibility if it did happen.





Conditions

Our quotes are based upon the distance from Dartford Tunnel and special offers that may be available at the time of enquiry.


When making a booking a £25 non-refundable deposit is required.

Remaining balance will be due 6 weeks before the wedding date.

Our doves are restricted to a 50 mile radius of Dartford Tunnel to ensure their safe return home.



Once released, our doves need to navigate their way home, so all releases must take place two hours before dusk with no exceptions.


A Release may be cancelled by the co-ordinator if inclement weather conditions such as heavy rain or thunder storms should arise. However, photographs can still be obtained with the dove displays and a 50% refund will be given.




Thank you for taking the time to read our web site.

If you think our service is that "special something" you have been looking for, please do not hesitate to get in touch.



We would consider it a great honour to be a part of your special day.
