Here
at Exmoor Owl and Hawk Centre we focus on your enjoyment at
interacting with the birds and animals in a safe environment.
As animal behaviourists we encourage all our animals to have
a good quality of life while they train us to allow them to
behave in as natural a way as possible. We all can learn a great
deal from our companion animals.
We
have a large collection of owls and birds of prey, with one
of the best groups of flying owls in the country, ...... plus
hawks, eagle, kookaburra and palm nut vulture. Many of the
owls are not flown at other centres and make very special
experiences.
During
your experience with us you can 'buy into' different sections
of the day, to give you lasting memories for life.
If you choose to do a full day with mixed birds of prey or
with owls you can enjoy the experience of flying at least
12 different birds to your gloved hand. We endeavour to keep
the day as individual as possible, with a maximum of four
people at any one time, but generally you will have the day
to yourselves..
When
you come on one of our experiences you can stay all day and
enjoy the facilities of the Centre at no extra cost, or your
stay bed and breakfast in our lovely farmhouse.
Or you may wish to take up the challenge and experience of
embarking on a rare encounter with our alpacas, miniature
donkeys and miniature shetland ponies, on a magical trek to
the sea, returning through the National Trust village of Bossington.
