Falcory Experiences

We are often asked by our visitors if they can hold or fly the birds, and the answer is yes, but only if you come on a Day or Half Day Experience here!

We don’t allow handling of the birds on an ad hoc basis – only if you commit to a reasonable time frame such as a whole or half day - and what an experience you will have!

To get beak to beak as it were with some of the birds here and look them in that stunning raptor eye, or to stand in the field and have them fly and land on your outstretched glove is an unforgettable encounter. To watch an owl inches away from you, or a peregrine preening on your glove, an eagle towering over your head, is a not to be missed chance. So if you want a great experience, have a look at the Experience Days.
