There has been a fascination with Birds of Prey for centuries. The ancient art of falconry is practiced within many cultures and many walks of life.
These informative and educational experiences are centred around conservation. The aim is to educate all ages into the beauty and magnificence of these raptors and owls with a hands-on and practical approach with an in depth look at how we work at the centre.
Topics covered will include husbandry, housing, diet and food preparation, weight control, training, falconry equipment and telemetry. You will be shown how to tie the falconer's knot and handle the birds safely before heading over to the flying field where you will be shown the basics of training and flying some of the birds to your gloved fist.
There is an additional cost of £10.00 per person for any spectators that is payable on the day, cash only please
Max group size of 14ppl
