Birds of prey are majestic and fascinating animals, and we understand the desire to get closer to and learn more about them. Our friendly and passionate team will feed your fascination for birds of prey in this full-day experience and introduce you to some of the wonderful species and individuals in our care.
During this full-day experience, you’ll likely fly one of our eagles, a truly majestic creature with hunting prowess. You’ll also fly an owl and witness their silent flight, as well as a hawk and vulture, both of which are awesome birds in flight. A friendly member of our Bird Team will introduce you to one of our more unusual species and share their passion and knowledge of all these birds with you as you spend time in various locations around our beautiful grounds. There may even be an opportunity to work with young birds in training. During the day, you will be in the company of our inspirational team who work with our awesome birds and have the chance to ask questions.
During the afternoon, your group will take a break from flying birds to watch one of the Trust’s world-renowned flying displays where you can witness more of our birds display their awe-inspiring skills!
