Some Dufus may have released it at a wedding/Funeral/ or ?. Standard Pigeons are European Rock Doves.

Haven't got close enough to see. It's always by itself when we've seen it and right around the house which is unusual here for our pigeons, which don't have a lot of right here. If it was one our few residentials I'm pretty sure I'd of noticed before now with it being all white.

It is a white homing pigeon. It was probably lost during a white dove release. I have sold many thousands of them. They are typically trained to a loft and used over and over for years. I had 1 white homing pigeon, I called Methusaleh, live for 26 years

We have a flock of white grey and black at the farm. They are stupid as all get out, my son has almost ran over them with the 4 wheeler a few times. They won't last long before nature takes place and eats them

Want a laugh, look up “Spell Pigeon (Piggy On) Dad Can't Pronounce Pigeon Meme”. On YouTube, would post it but can’t because of language

In my area, the average white dove release, at a wedding, is about $600.00. Funeral releases average about $400.00.

Here's a white dove release business in Manhattan, Kansas about an hour from you.
