| Our enclosed Loft and Aviary house an in-loft nesting area as well as an outdoor nesting area just outside of the loft. Our outdoor nesting area houses covered breeding cages that are nestled under and shaded by vines and shade cloth to keep our birds cool and protected during our severely hot summers. This specific set up allows our doves the opportunity to choose their preferred nesting area. Doves mate for life and both parents take an active role in raising and feeding their young. |
Dove Spirit Release Service is maintained by Hobbiest/Breeder and Handler Debi Sandoval. As personal handler she assures that the doves are trained in a professional and safe manner, Debi has enjoyed this hobby for over three years and does free releases for local charities and schools. Our loft is set up with an attached aviary to assure that the doves get sufficient exercise even on days when weather may not permit a training release. Our Loft and spacious Aviary (measuring 80 x 20 Feet) is located in Winchester, California. |

| Our "Doves" are actually Pure White Homing Pigeons which originated from the Rock Dove. Unlike smaller doves purchased at pet stores, these doves have a homing mechanism which allows them to find their way home, and have been bred for centuries to assure proper athletic ability and coloring. Our doves have the ability to find their way home from ranges exceeding 600 Miles after being trained by a qualified handler, most doves trained for dove releases are not trained to exceed a 30-50 Mile Radius. |
