Explaining WDRP Policy: Birds Must Be Well Trained

Sometimes people consider doing the unthinkable in terms of dove releases: They actually consider trying to make a dove release happen on their own. As a result, they often use the wrong type of birds, birds that are un-trained for returning home, or birds that are outright not meant to fly much at all. Disasters follow. Very special events are tarnished by their failures, and the lives of beautiful birds are placed in jeopardy, all because somebody who values the almighty dollar over the lives of living creatures decided to "do it himself."

That is why it is so important to hire a professional dove release company for your white dove release. It is the best and most ethical choice. Yes, homing pigeons "home," but only with thorough and careful training. They have the innate ability to learn to home within them, but the trainers must help them hone those abilities, and properly condition the birds for flights of length.

Professionals in the dove release business seek birds which have come from "proven racing stock." You might compare great homing pigeons with poor ones like comparing great racing horses versus plow horses. We seek certain physiques in our birds, hope for good personality traits, and most of all, hope for navigational intelligence, among other things. From the beginning we knew, or learned quickly, that starting out with excellent birds was imperative to the success of our businesses and the ability to provide a better dove release.

Beyond the bloodlines, the best birds are unable to reach their full potential until they are properly trained out. The desire is to have birds which love to fly, enjoy their freedom, but come straight home from each release to the safety and comfort of their loft. So, thorough, systematic, and attentive training is critical in achieving this goal.

We do absolutely everything within our power to protect the birds and ensure that each and every one of them comes straight home each and every day. You will see further evidence of this in future posts, as I continue to revisit items of the WDRP release policy.
