A PRIVATE SESSION WITH HAWKS AND OWLS IN THE FIELD
Your
day begins in the Owl Garden, where you will meet with Rod. He
will show your around the aviaries, and then you will take out
Tiksi our Eurasian Eagle Owl and Tundra our female Snowy owl,
the largest of our owl species. You will be given a bag with food,
and you will fly them, under guidance, around the field on some
amazing long glides and flights, marvelling as they display some
of their natural hunting and flying styles.
Following
this you will fly Bandit or Elsa, our well experienced Harris
Hawks, to your gloved hand, as your introduction to handling the
bird on your own.
You
will then take Nadi, our Indian Eagle Owl, or Dale, a Harris Hawk,
up our private river trail and they will fly to your glove as
you walk along the trail. This is a very beautiful walk, and a
really special experience, enjoying some incredible flights and
long glides from both of these incredible birds. This may be followed
by Dale our Harris Hawk as he flies through the trees and returns
to your glove for food.
