How to hold a dove.......
Here is my friend, Charlie, from a wonderful dove release company down in Georgia. He is demonstrating a gentle technique for holding the doves. By the way, that is Charlie playing the guitar in the background. He is a songwriter too!
One thing we will do slightly differently is that, I will keep the dove's legs next to her body instead of in between your fingers. So, your hand will be holding her wing tips and her legs like a bouquet of flowers, while you gently support her chest from underneath. That way, she can breath without a grip around her chest. (Very important)
