Fly birds of prey to the glove.
Get up close and personal with some of nature’s magnificent and regal birds of prey. You’ll learn all about the art of falconry and have a chance to try it for yourself.
Your experience starts with a tour of the bird of prey centre, where you’ll get up close and personal with different species and learn what makes a hawk a hawk, a falcon a falcon and an owl an owl. Then you’ll get expert tuition in the art of falconry and have time to handle the birds so that you get comfortable with them and they get comfortable with you.
Next it’s time to try out falconry for real - you’ll fly some birds to the fist, watching them show off their skills and getting some thrills medieval-style when a top predator comes into land on your glove.
