About Us

Jeanne & Steve

After a lifetime of breeding and racing homing pigeons in Ontario, Canada, Steve Brook decided to move his flock of birds to the warmer climate of the Outer Banks. He and his wife, Jeanne, who has made the Outer Banks home since 1994, built a spacious loft at their home in historic Kitty Hawk Village to begin breeding and housing their white homing pigeons. Steve and Jeanne have a deep respect for the birds and the art of raising them, and they are excited to offer their birds for ceremonial dove releases on the Outer Banks.

Jay

Jay is often found at the loft helping to take care of the birds and letting them out for a fly. He is also a very popular handler and has released the birds at several weddings, memorial services, and community events.

Testimonials

"After going to the wedding expo, I came home and told Jeff 'I didn’t know anything for sure, except that I want the doves!' haha They are so beautiful and such a great addition to weddings. You were so helpful and kind to let us come to your house and practice with the doves before. That was definitely an added bonus to our wedding day. We loved the doves! Thanks so much!"

~ Heather & Jeff

"The releasing of the doves was truly breathtaking! It was the perfect afternoon, and everyone was moved in such a special way when those lovely birds took flight."

~Martha, Dare Home Health & Hospice

"On behalf of the Town of Nags Head, I want to thank you and the 'When Doves Fly' team for your participation in the September 11, 2011 Nags Head Patriot Day Remembrance ceremony. Your donation of time and services was instrumental in making our recent community gathering a huge success. Your beautiful birds, attention to detail and positive attitude assumed all bird release responsibilities so town staff could focus on the event. All attendees commented how beautiful the doves looked as they flew home; your donated avian skills and professionalism enhanced the ceremony."
