Why Not "Self Release"?
Thinking of a "self release"?
When done professionally and with class, a white dove release can be the most spectacular event at a wedding. It can be very touching at a funeral, where it helps lift the "heaviness" of the setting and can help start the recovery process.
That
being the case, the true professional recognizes the importance of
both events and never takes these things lightly! Professionals disagree with organizations that participate in the practice of shipping or selling birds for "self release".
Some things to ask when contacting a White Dove Release company:
Are your birds banded for easy identification and recovery if they become lost?
A company that does not care enough to have their birds identified may not care enough to make sure your release is personalized and breathtaking.
What type of birds do you use for releases?
(This is a memorable moment but not the memory you're looking for, and is not really a Kodak moment either.) The only bird that should be released is a Rock Dove (family columbidea).
Are your birds trained to return home?
Do you allow birds to be picked up for “self release?”
Where are the birds going to be kept during the ceremony? Did someone leave them in a hot car? (dead birds don’t fly). If you leave the birds outside the church, will they still be there when you come back outside? If you take them inside the church..... who is going to take them outside when it's time for the release?
Did
you even remember to bring them, with all the other things to think
about? Or are they back home, sitting in the garage? Do you know how to set up the basket for the best effect? Can you hold them to release them? How DO you do that? |
