About Us
We are Andy and Jill and we provide a service for dove release for any occasion that you require. Andy has raced pigeons since he was 10 years old and therefore has huge experience with the birds and their health, welfare and training. Andy’s very first pigeon was pure white.
At home our birds get the very best treatment and each have their own preferred perch. They love to take regular baths and peanuts are there favourite treat which they always get when returning home from a release.
Our unique commissioned “Cinderella” carriage was designed especially for dove release and was hand made by a blacksmith. We also have a large range of release baskets, all of which can be decorated to match your colour theme/function.
You can have confidence that we know what we are doing and are the best giving first class service along with realistic prices.
On your occasion let us give it extra meaning to create a lasting memory.

Frequently Asked Questions & Terms
Welfare of our birds is paramount to us. Two major factors must be taken into account.
Timing – the birds must be given enough time to get home in day light. They do not fly at night. Evening releases can be arranged only in the summertime and reasonable distance to the home lofts.
We will not release the birds in adverse weather conditions which include heavy rain, fog or high winds. If poor weather is forecast we will cancel and provide a full refund.
Should the weather turn on the day, once attended we will try and find a gap in the weather.
