Phil B –
A Fantastic Experience
“Our ‘Half-day experience’ turned out to be almost a full day. A truly fantastic encounter with some magical birds. John is an expert not only as a falconer but in sharing his knowledge and passion for the birds he shares his life with. Having a golden eagle perching on your arm is memorable to say the least! From the smallest 4 1/2 ounce owl to Khan the aforementioned eagle every bird was interesting to see.
Many of the birds were flown (indoors due to the weather but actually I think it was a better experience, being so much closer to the birds). A top day out.”

Fantastic experience, would highly recommend
“My partner purchased a half day experience course for me last year. I was late on trying to book due to the manic time after the birth of our first child. When I finally phoned I was told that they would be happy to extend the voucher, also the half day experience was not being run anymore and that they would upgrade me to the full day experience free of charge.
When I arrived I was welcomed by the team. I then took a wonder around the owl aviaries whilst I waited for the experience to start. Each aviarie had a plaque with information about each species of owl which was very interesting especially when, like me, you don’t have much knowledge about birds of prey.
Due to poor weather we went to the indoor flying area. John was great answering all questions and giving insightful information, with a nice bit of humour too. He ensured every customer had a generous amout of time handling each bird. John’s knowledge was impressive but the bond that John has clearly spent an incredible amount of time developing with each bird was mind blowing. This was not like any old zoo keeper giving a talk, this was a man sharing his passion, his life with you. I can honestly say that I could not imagine that there is a person on this planet that could have carried out this experience better than John did.
I will certainly be visiting again next year, hopefully with the weather being a bit more pleasant so I can experience the day outside as well.
Thank you very much John and the rest of the team”
