Interesting facts about Birds of Prey
-
In the UK, our most common bird of prey is the buzzard, a large bird with rounded wings and a short neck and tail, less impressive than the eagles and hawks you'll be handling on our incredible birds of prey days!
-
Birds of prey are also known as "raptors". Confusingly, this is also the name of the dinosaurs that stalked Sam Neill and co. in Jurassic Park. You will not be interacting with dinosaurs on our birds of prey experience days* - raptor refers to a predator that stalks its prey using talons.
-
Move over owls. Hawks have been proven to be amongst the most intelligent of all birds, having undertaken a kind of bird IQ test called the avian IQ scale, devised by Dr Louis Lefebvre.
-
Not all owls are nocturnal - the Pygmy Owl hunts at twilight - during dusk and dawn. The Burrowing Owl and Short-eared Owl hunt during the day.
* - This is probably a good thing

Customer Reviews of Birds of Prey experiences
I had a wonderful time on this birds of prey experience, being taught by the falconry experts how to fly the Harris Hawks to the fist really surpassed my expectations. The birds are just stunning and it's very exhilarating to watch them coming back to you. The staff at the centre were great and able to answer everyone's questions.

A brilliant day in the beautiful setting of the New Forest National Park. Our falconer was such an expert and a great teacher, all of us were soon flying owls which was amazing. I have some great photos of all sorts of birds of prey which will be lovely reminders of the day...

Thank you Buyagift for this excellent birds of prey day we bought for our son. He was absolutely in awe of the birds and loved being able to get so close to the birds. He's keen to do something similar again as soon as he can, so we would definitely use your services again.
