Bird Of Prey Experience Days: Birds of prey are some of the most incredible creatures on this
planet, combining evolution's most refined hunting techniques
together with the most aerodynamic of designs to create the perfect
hunter.
Stunningly beautiful and fantastically adept, the wonderful
range of Buzzards, Kestrels and Owls held at this countryside
centre in Warwickshire will drop the jaws of any teenager lucky
enough to get 'hands on' with the winged warriors - and will create
memories that will stay with them for a very long time indeed.
Their
taster will begin with an introduction to the expert falconer for
the day.
Your child will then be guided round the aviaries to be
briefly shown the spectacular array of birds that vary from Owls,
Kestrels and Buzzards to Hawks.
They will learn the way to handle
these fantastic and powerful birds, ready for moving from handling
to flying.
They will be taught how to engage with the birds
(several different types) and have them come to your child as they
soar.
The falconer will demonstrate and show you how to lure and
work the birds in styles that have changed little in many years.
What an amazing day!
