This 90-minute morning session begins with an introduction to Baytree & Owl Wildlife Centre by your falconer for the day, who will give you a brief tour of the aviary complex and show you to a selection of the birds you’ll be meeting.

 

Next, you'll be given a glove along with instruction in how to handle the birds, and then it’s straight to the action - flying your first bird of the morning! But don't worry - under the watchful eye of our knowledgeable falconer, you'll be an expert in no time!

 

As the day progresses, you can have a go at flying up to four unique members* of our demonstration team, each more incredible than the last! 

 

Once your session is over, you are free to spend as much time as you like viewing our collection, and are welcome to return for our flying demonstration (where one is available.)  

​

*On a typical Eagle & Vulture Experience, we aim to fly at least one eagle, vulture and a large owl species (with the fourth bird being another of these species). There may also be an opportunity for handling time with additional birds. However, a different selection of birds may be used at the falconer's discretion depending on the specific circumstances on the day. Exact species used will vary with the time of the year.
