Georgia Doves  

The first question most folks ask me is: How did you get into this business?  I will give you the short version of that answer.  I LOVE BIRDS.  I Love sharing that affection/connection with everyone.

My Story:   In 1968 I was on a student tour in Italy, while visiting the Boboli Gardens I witnessed a Wedding Dove Release, as the Bride and Groom kissed, the Doves were released.  Have I ever forgotten that feeling and that memory?   WOW    Never......finally.......

 After owning the small barbary doves for several years and sharing them at Christmas events, I had to check into finding the beautiful type of Doves used for events,  like the Dove Release in Italy, the rest is history.  I  lOVE  owning the Doves and introducing them to everyone I meet.  I have enjoyed a 40 year career in Dental Hygiene:  I love to tell folks that time was spent "working down in the mouth" but now "things are looking up"  I have a charmed life.   My Husband of 40 years helps me with the "big" releases an occasionally I have trained staff to fill in when needed.  You can always expect expert advise and personal help with your event.

Who We Are

I consider Doves to be "our oldest feathered friend"  who can resist touching and petting a dove when offered?   The doves seem to like the attention and there is little or no resistance.   People find this amazing!  

My favorite quote:   " In a world that seems so very puzzling is it any wonder that birds have such and appeal?  Birds are perhaps, the most eloquent expression of reality."
