We support events throughout the year. Booking is on a first come, first serve basis based on submitted Reservation Form. Some animals will not be available for outdoor events if outside temperature is higher than 80°F. We do not travel further than 30 minutes on weekends and holidays from zipcode 20854 due to animal and staff fatigue and DC traffic!

DOVE AND PIGEONS FACTS
WHITE DOVES
  • White Doves are often thought of as a separate species
  • it is actually perhaps the most common color mutation of the Ringneck Dove
  • often confused with the domestic white homing pigeon which is used for release at special occasions (weddings, anniversaries, etc.)
  • However, this bird does not have the homing instinct and should not be released!
  • Parlor Roller pigeons Do Not Fly - due to some odd genetics, these birds roll on the ground and do backward somersaults!
  • Pigeon rolling is a type of competition and pigeons are judged by their rolling in the air or on the ground
  • Our pigeons cock their heads, flip backwards, and do one somersault after another on the ground
  • They spin at such at a fast speed that they look like a fast moving ball of feathers!
