White Dove Release is owned and operated by Michaleen Nikolich. Our goal is to make your event one of the most memorable occasions of your life.
Michaleen has a BS in Biology & has worked with animals and wildlife for years. Her love for avian species began as a wildlife rehabber at the Northwoods Wildlife Center in Minoqua, Wi. She is also an experienced Vet tech and has worked for: The National Park Service doing Sea Turtle research, The US Dept. Of Agriculture APHIS division, and The University of Montana in their Animal Science dept. Not to mention her volunteer work with Asian elephants weeks before the tsunami in Thailand.
Even though we use our doves for the release business, they are still an important part of our family, therefore the safety of our birds is extremely important to us. We do not train or release our birds in rain, snow, extreme wind, heavy fog or haze. All releases must be completed one hour before sunset to assure that the birds have ample time to return home prior to darkness.
Our Wedding Day Doves and Funeral Doves are Pure white and are hand selected for your release. These trained white “Rock Doves” are used for all humane releases. Unlike domestic ring neck doves, our birds possess a natural “homing” instinct. It is this instinct augmented with extensive training, that allows them to return safely to their loft following a release.
White Dove Release will gladly coordinate the release in advance with your photographer.

Weddings
White doves at a wedding are symbolic of celebration, peace, love, and serenity. Wedding doves can represent eternal life, happiness, and unity. They signify the celebration of your new marriage together.
Please let White Dove Release capture these special moments to create memories that will last a lifetime
Funeral/Memorial Service
PSALM 56:6 And I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! For then would I fly away and be at rest.”
From the beginning of time, doves have represented love, peace, and purity. When a dove is released at a funeral, it symbolizes the releasing of the spirit of a loved one. A Graveside Service with ceremonial white doves released creates a beautiful way to say goodbye to your lost loved one.
White Dove Release out of Woodstock, IL. hopes to make the release a special moment for everyone attending the service as they watch these special Angels ascend into the heavens.
About Our Doves
Our doves reside on a few acres just north of the historic Woodstock square in Illinois about 50 miles Northwest of Chicago. Their home consists of a 18x24 building which is referred to as a loft.
Our doves are highly intelligent birds that have been trained to return home immediately following their release at Weddings, Funerals, Memorial Services and other Special Events. The doves we use for releases greatly differ from the domesticated ring neck doves that are frequently sold in local pet shops which don’t have the ability to survive in the wild if released.
The doves each have their own personal perch within the loft and their own personal breeding box. The birds are permitted free loft exercise each day (weather permitting) which keeps them in excellent physical condition to make the return flight from their scheduled release locations.
Our doves love to fly. Their daily exercising, outside of their release events provides them the freedom to take long flights away from home simply because they love flying. When the birds are released at your special event they are not being forced to do something they don't enjoy. They love flying and we are proud to share their beauty with you and your guests.
Each of our birds is banded with seamless numbered bands that can be easily traced on the internet if one of our birds should become lost or injured on the way home. Each of the bands displays our name, address and telephone number. We have invested a lot to insure the safety of our birds while they are performing at your special event and therefore adhere to the following release policy for the safety of the birds:
We will not release our white doves INDOORS.
We will not release our birds AT NIGHT.
We will not ship our birds by mail for self-release.
We will not release our birds in INCLEMENT WEATHER such as rain storms, fog or snow where visibility is decreased.
We will return deposits for cancelled releases due to "Acts of God".
We will not release our white doves beyond a range from which they are able to safely fly home.
Our birds are trained out to 100 miles! Below is a map which we prefer to service. It represents only a 50 mile flight radius from the White Dove Release home loft in Illinois. Please feel free to Contact us as our 100 mile flight zone goes well into Wisconsin and covers Chicago to Madison.
