Throughout history, white doves have been a symbol of peace, unity, friendship and hope. The National Aviary’s flock of white doves are available for release from May through October for off-site events in Allegheny County and for events booked at the National Aviary.

To inquire about a dove release for your special event, contact our While Dove Specialist.

Please note that National Aviary doves are not available for off-site weddings or for funerals.
