Hello Bekki,
That is exactly how I started.
I nearly ran over a flock of fantail pigeons 9 months ago and was offered them by their owner. I breed silky bantams and have a magpie rehab unit. I also love birds immensely.
I googled Dove to get diet and housing info and only found adverts for dove releases.
So I researched my area and found no one dove releasing on the web in my town.
I went doorknocking to florists/wedding wear and funeral houses to find out wether anyone was releasing as well that wasnt advertising on the web.
I got really positive feedback so I began a business plan and have tried to stick to it.
It has cost me about 2 thousand dollars to get started by the time I purchased my homing pigeons, cages, baskets, silk flowers, adverts, business cards, expos, etc but it has just taken off and now the business is supporting itself and giving me lots of joy.
I love the expressions on the peoples faces as they watch the birds take flight, i love talking to the excited couples as they plan their wedding.
Its such a pretty industry but then again I get soooo dirty scraping the loft daily.
I have to plan my days though. I have a dear 9 year old son to help with his homework etc and to have time to play monopoly etc too.
Im sure if you take time to get good foundation breeding stock and build up your flock you will be able to do this as well.
I joined the white dove society which was a great investment with hints etc.
Pls feel free to em or pm me if youd like some tips.
Good luck, its a lovely job!
Helen
