“A Beautiful Release? Or a Death Sentence?”
The truth behind ceremonial bird releases.

Every year, thousands of white pigeons are bought, handled, and released at weddings, baptisms, funerals, and other human celebrations. It looks symbolic. It feels poetic. But for the birds, it’s a tragedy.

These birds are not wild.
They are domestic pigeons bred in captivity, without the instincts or skills to survive in nature.
When they are released, they face starvation, predators, disorientation, exhaustion, and often a slow, terrifying death.

They die alone so people can take pictures.
They suffer so moments can look “pure.”
They are used, then discarded by the sky.
They are abandoned. And no one cares about their fate.

A wedding should not come with casualties.
A baptism should not cost a life.
A funeral should not create more grief.

There are so many ways to honor love, life, and memory without cruelty.
This isn’t symbolism. It’s animal abuse.

Don’t release pigeons. Protect them. Let your ceremony speak with compassion, not suffering.

Elodie M. Richard was born in France but with a complex heritage including Polish and Russian. Due to her father’s career in the Army her family had to regularly move and adapt to new locations in France and abroad. Her life path as a child and adult is made of travels and regular changes of geographical locations, constantly balancing between feeling of loss, challenges and new life starts. 

Unlike a superficial society that gets lost in ultra consumption, Elodie creates a refined, symbolic and meditative world around the broad notion of identity. She takes her inspirations from personal experiences but also current events and her connection to nature.
The artist currently lives in Central Florida with her husband (artist himself) and their small flock of 5 rescued pigeons.

This page shows an inventory of her work as a painter and illustrator since 2016 up to this current year. 

Some of her artworks appear as sold, if interested in an art piece, please private message Elodie.
