Lost Birds

Although our birds are well trained, they will sometimes get lost,
Our birds are very much loved and cared for and like our children; we can’t sleep until everyone is home safely.

If you have found a white dove that was lost on one of our training tosses or releases the bird will have A Dove’s Nest name and phone number leg band.
 Give us a call and we will pick the bird up and bring it home to safely.

If the bird does not have A Dove’s Nest leg band then click
www.pigeon.org/lostbirds.htm
The AU has a wonderful page dedicated to the care and safety of lost birds.

If you find a dove without a band, then unfortunately A Dove’s Nest or the AU won't be able to help find the owner. The bird should be treated as a wild dove.

Please don’t buy doves from pet stores to release, yes they make great little pets, but they are not trained for dove releases and they don’t have the homing ability to return home. When you release them they will be confused and left for prey.

Thank you for caring,
Charlie Cole, trainer
