It always intrigued me.
Yes. "White Doves" at weddings are actually white homing pigeons. If you were to release actual white doves, chances are they would all die.

Inside me is a thin woman trying to get out. I usually shut the bitch up with a martini.

Since the white doves don't "home", maybe they can't survive out there if they are used to captivity?

They don't have the ability to home, and while some would survive, most would die of starvation.
That, and I noticed from the few white dove releases I've seen, they have an uncanny tendency to run into windows.
