OWL ACTIVITIES at EXMOOR OWL & HAWK CENTRE
Owl Experience Day

BACK TO ACTIVITIES PAGE


9.30-4.00PM approx; £120 per person,
£60 children; £30 spectator

Your session begins at 9.30am when you will be met by Rod in the Owl Garden. He will take you around the new owl aviaries, and as you leave this area you will be accompanied by Tiksi, our Eurasian Eagle Owl, and Tundra, the Snowy owl, and you will fly them to posts around the field. You will then collect Inca, the Peruvian Striped Owl from her aviary and you will fly her to your gloved hand, placing her gently on the perches. She will glide incredible distances despite her small size, as she would in the wild.

Follwing this you will take Nadi, our young Bengal Eagle owl along the river trail, and enjoy his long low swooping flights from his high branch to your gloved hand. This is an amazing experience in a beautiful and natural setting.

You will then be taken to our medieval World of Owls barn, and fly four of 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 in a multimedia presentation.

Lunch in our delightful Tea Gardens will be followed by flying 'Snoopy' our mature Bengal Eagle Owl around the fields, Laysha, the immature Brown Wood Owl from the tables to your gloved hand, and one of the other owls not flown in the morning owl show. After a short break to wander around, delicious Somerset Cream Tea, 'Mottley' and 'Moccadoo' our two South American owls will take centre stage during our rainforest demonstration back in the Medieval barn, followed by Cleo and Patra as they dart around the barn.

We offer a full day flying and handling as many as 14 different owls throughout the day. They are all very special, and display an amazing variety of hunting and flying techniques greatly appreciated by our clients and visitors.
