<< WHAT IS A BIRD RELEASE? >>
It is as simple as it sounds. White birds are released into the sky during a selected time at your special ceremony. These birds have built-in GPS systems that guide them home after much precise training and science. They love to fly and use their skills. The White Wing Sanctuary history has been in working with these birds for years from flying 500 mile races to training hunting dog champions to performing bird releases.

WHY HAVE A WHITE BIRD RELEASE?
White birds are a symbol of freedom, release and purity. They promote a theme of peace and one of hope. This is a beautiful way to honor your loved one by acknowledging their spirit during a ceremony of recognition. Also, these birds do not experience harm, cause harm or do any damage to anything like other types of celebrations can.

WHAT EVENTS SHOULD I USE WHITE BIRDS FOR?
There are so many ways to honor the important people in your life:
~Symbolize the release of their soul during their funeral service.
~Symbolize the Trinity guiding them heavenward at their burial.
~Symbolize the purity of your wedding day by releasing birds during the ceremony.
~Release birds to honor someone's anniversary, baptism or achievement.
~To honor someone as they receive an award or graduate or have a special Birthday.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
All you have to do is schedule a time and choose the number of birds. A Bird Specialist from White Wing Sanctuary will attend your ceremony and release the birds as planned at the time you designate. Perhaps during a song, during a verse, a candle lighting, or flower placing. You can even release the birds from your own hands if you wish to do so.

WHAT DO THE BIRDS DO WHEN THEY ARE RELEASED?
The white birds will take flight, rise above the trees and gather as they fly in a circular formation higher and higher until they are all together. They then will return home to their sanctuary safe and sound.

ABOUT BUTTERFLIES
Butterfly releases are a great way to help propagate the struggling Monarch's. They migrate to Mexico every year to hybernate in the cold forest mountains and then breed their way back up to the Northern United States. A couple of years ago, the Mexico forests experienced a freezing rain storm that wiped out 70% of the Monarch population. This is another reason we breed them for wedding releases to help increase the population and get our butterflies to be strong again. Some Monarch's live only for two weeks to help breed, others live for 8 to 10 months to perform the migration.
