About Us

      Jan and Julie Cook have always admired white doves, be it in flying as a flock or in static displays. In the last year we have built and trained our flock at home in Otatara where we dedicate our time to our "Dove Flight School" and in so doing have spent many happy hours training our beloved doves to return to their home loft after their allocated missions.  It constantly sets our hearts alight to see the doves flying over Otatara.

It is indeed a pleasure to now be able to provide our doves for hire or release to the families of Southland where they can share moments of celebration, of joy and celebration or symbolize the sadness of their loss and the passing over of a soul with the beauty of these spectacular birds. For some a dove release symbolizes Peace and Love, new beginnings of a perfect union, for others its about the beauty of these beautiful birds in flight as the transcend to the sky.

Whatever the occasion or memory of a moment you would like to capture, our doves can do this. A white dove release or display becomes a cherished memory of love forever in the hearts of the witnesses of this special event.
 

We look forward to meeting you and working with you
to make your event exceedingly special.

Dove hirage may be all year round but the releases are by negotiation and weather dependent. We do not release our Doves during the Winter months due to the cold and due to the hawks.

Flight release bookings are being taking now for the Spring and Summer of 2006.

We are the only Dove Release business in New Zealand and are members of  the International White Dove Society.
