Bird Experience
Raptor and Meet the Birds Experiences
Our two most popular flying experiences give anyone an insight into the amazing world of Falconry. Completely hands-on you do get up close to these magnificent animals and learn all about them from our experienced team of Falconers.
Raptor Encounter - £45 per person for 1½ hour
AGE 14+
You are introducing the breathtaking Raptor Encounter. A 1½ hour falconry taster session where you will get a very close encounter! Put on the falconry gauntlet and fly two birds of prey.
On arrival, you will be greeted by one of our falconers who will guide you around our collection of birds. Afterwards in the all-weather display area, you will be shown how to fly the birds. There is nothing quite like excitement when a bird of prey lands on your glove for the first time.
From start to finish you will be in the midst of the action, whilst our knowledgeable falconer guides and educates you in all aspects of the raptor world.
This encounter includes refreshments and access to our weathering lawn and aviaries. It makes a fabulous present for a loved one or perhaps you deserve to treat yourself?
As with all our outdoor experiences, we ask that clients wear suitable clothing for all weather conditions, which should include flat shoes. We will provide all the appropriate safety equipment where necessary.
Meet the Birds - £89 per person for 3 hours
AGE 14+
Be amazed as you get hands-on and fly a variety of birds of prey! In our three-hour session, you will be flying different species of birds of prey. A remarkable experience you will never forget!
After an initial handling session, you will progress to flying up to six different species of birds of prey from our collection of hawks, owls, falcons, eagles, buzzards and vultures.
We train a variety of young raptors every year to join our falconry display team and as a result, every session is different depending upon the time of year that you redeem your experience voucher. A great present for a loved one or perhaps you deserve to treat yourself? There is nothing quite like excitement when a bird of prey lands on your glove for the first time.
