![Release Dove
A release dove, also called white pigeon, is
a rock dove bred for size and overall
resemblance to a white dove. Pure white
doves exist in nature as albinos.[citation
needed] Not all release doves are rock doves
and most breeders of doves for various
uses do not domesticate their birds.
Although many dove release businesses
advertise that their birds will be able to
safely return home, a few released
“doves” can be killed in accidents or by
predators before they can make their way
back. Most released birds are able to
survive a return flight and are viewed
similarly to racing pigeons that have been
raced for centuries.
The pigeons bred for dove release services
are bred for their color, small size, and for
their amazing homing abilities and flight
speeds.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/birdsofnhava-3-190108063641/75/Birds-of-nhava-3-19-2048.jpg)
