Falconry techniques have been refined over centuries. This half day course gives you the opportunity to interact with magnificent birds of prey up close before learning how to fly them to the fist. The birds are not trained to do tricks, they simply mimic what comes naturally to them. All the birds on show will display their natural instincts to soar, quarter, pounce and mantle. The experienced staff will share their extensive knowledge of different species of bird and answer any questions that you may have.
Your experience starts with an informative tour of the centre where you will see the variety of birds of prey close up and learn all about their different characteristics, speed capabilities and hunting habits. After that, you will have the chance to fly some of them to the fist under the watchful eye of the trainer. Finally there will be plenty of photo opportunities to capture a truly unforgettable experience. You will be at there for approximately 3 hours in total.

This experience is available at Essex:

  • Essex (South East) - Castle Hedingham
Your voucher is valid for 10 months.

Spectators are welcome for an additional fee payable on booking.

I went to Eagle Heights for a day to learn about and fly birds of prey. The people there were very friendly and made me very welcome. The day started with a cuppa and a chat with others in the party doing the same as me. Then we went to a room to learn and handle the birds which was great fun. After that we all had our own bird of prey to hold while we went to a field to fly the bird. It's a great day for anyone who loves birds. There are other animals to see there as well.
