A Release Dove refers to any breed of Domestic Pigeon used for ceremonial release. Release Doves are often used to commemorate important milestones of life and offerings of hope at weddings and birthdays and as representing the soul's final journey at funerals. They are also released at grand openings, sporting events, and many outdoor gatherings. The preferred type of Release Doves are homing pigeons, a member of the Rock Pigeon family, and some strains are specifically bred for ceremonial release. White Homing pigeons are preferable to ringneck doves for ceremonial release because ringneck doves lack homing ability and may not survive in the wild.
