That would make a wedding memorable.

Exclamation Make sure the service is registered and uses the right birds!

Please, verify that the service you choose is using white homing pigeons and not doves.

White Dove Releases Directory (http://www.white-dove-releases.com/index.htm - broken link)

[URL="http://www.white-dove-releases.com/faq.htm"]Pigeons vs Doves[/URL] This is important: White ringneck doves are sometimes used and they cannot find their way home and end up starving to death.
