I know who Suzette is, with her amazing doves. Was Fabiola, the pigeon princess, presenting the same birds?

How about Mlle Odette's doves?

Fabiola had a pigeon act that season but left after the season to give birth to TWINS.

Mills made all the props and costumes for me and I trained the pigeons,It then became a "House act" after the tenting season I went to Hansa Theater in Hamburg, then added more birds and was sent to Gt. Yarmouth Hippodrome Circus in 1963. Later Mills sold the act to Wilke Circus in South Africa
