Introduction to Falconry

As a special treat for yourself or a gift to someone else, this unforgettable falconry day will provide a dramatic opportunity to be up close to these stunning, intelligent hunting birds!

Our trained and experienced falconers will give a short talk about the history of falconry and about the birds you will be flying. You will see how we care for, manage and handle the birds and we will show you how the birds are held in a way that is safe for both you and the birds, we will also make you aware of the safeguards necessary for the falconry field experience.

After lunch, we will be out in the beautiful nature trail. You will experience the excitement, tension and thrill of watching a falcon in action as one of our falconers swings a lure to simulate an aerial battle between predator and prey before heading into the woods with a Harris hawk.

Your day ends with an opportunity to ask further questions and a chance to have your photo taken with any of our birds.

The day runs from 10am to 4pm.
