Hey All,
Been a long time since I've been on here... was curious to see who else is out there still using doves? Seems like a lot of people got out of it in the last 20 years...

I thought it was just me who noticed this. I use doves in EVERY show I do, including children's birthday parties.
It might be interesting to have a conversation about where the popularity of doves began. In the 70's it seemed like everyone was using doves. Who do you think was most responsible for fostering this popularity?

Channing Pollick made it a thing. He was not the first to use doves. Cantu (Abraham Cantu) was arguably the first to produce doves and predated Pollock. However, Channing made it look elegant and magical and following his Ed Sullivan TV appearance, he was heavily coppied (cloned?). The popularity has fallen off due to the change in the public's attitude toward animal acts. Bird acts seem to be going the way of cigarette manipulation acts.
