Your
day begins in the Owl Garden, where you will meet with
Rod. He will show your around the aviaries, and then you
will fly a variety of birds in the field which may incluse
Tiksi our Eurasian Eagle Owl or 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.
This
will be followed by taking 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.
On
returning to then farm you will be taken to our medieval
World of Owls barn, and fly our specially trained owls
to your fist, or encourage them onto the 'pounce box'
and watch them dive from their high branches. This is
an amazing display of natural owl behaviour in the wild.
This will include four of the following owls:
Caspar,
the Barn Owl
Pip, the Tawny Owl
Clovis, the Northern Hawk Owl
Anuk, the Great Grey Owl
Dela, the Spotted Eagle Owl
Indi, the Boobooks Owl
