Live dove release / animal rental for events
A small operator rents trained doves (or other ceremonial animals) for weddings, releases and special events as an event prop service.
The idea, in plain language
A small operator maintains a trained flock of white doves and rents them out for weddings, releases and other ceremonies as an event prop. The Side Hustle School episode covers a Virginia couple who turned a small dove flock into a steady event-services side income by serving weddings and special events. The business is local, regulated (permits, animal welfare) and seasonal around event demand.
Where the sources agree
