Brendam. Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 My daughter in law Lola has lost her beloved Nan, Bet Denehy. As a tribute at her Nans' funeral on Thursday next week, Lola would like to release two doves . A beautiful idea you say? Yes, except that hiring 2 doves through the funeral director amounts to ?150......Yes, I DID say ?150!!!!! There are 2 doves in a dovecote on the allotments at the back of my house, but even though I've enquired at the houses around here for the last 2 days I can't find out who owns them! It's driving me insane!!!!! Is there anybody at all who can point me in the right direction to hire a couple of doves for an hour or so, please? Bren.

wolfie Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Put some bird seed out in the back garden, I guarantee within an hour you will be overun with doves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 or perhaps some local pigeons dyed white?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Aww my condolences to Lola - and try the birdseed thing - It may work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Original Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I doubt very much that Brendam will want to catch them.. Lol are there no pigeon breeders in your area? they used to be all over the place, what you could do is put a note on the Dovecote asking them to give you a call(the owner not the pigeons) someone must be feeding them..

Bazj Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I believe that the landlord at the Hoop & Mallet pub in Callands has white doves. There are always a few cooing around the shops next door. Not sure if they belonged to the previous manager but they are still there. May be worth an ask?

Brendam. Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks for the replies to my question, especially to Baz J. The upshot of this is that Lola has hired the doves from the funeral director after a phone call from them when she was particularly stressed out, but thanks to you all anyway. Bren.
