A great owl handling experience!
A great half day for our son for the Owl Experience. 3 hours of joy with various owls of various sizes. Our Handler was very knowledgeable and very interesting. The time just “flew” by. Would certainly recommend. Small group of about half a dozen people. Lots of other experience days / half days to choose from.

The most incredible experience!
Absolutely amazing experience! We purchased a voucher for my nephews birthday for a 3 hour owl handling experience. The booking process was perfect and today we attended.
What an experience! The guide was so knowledgable and lovely, each participant had a brilliant amount of time with each bird and such a variety to see! My nephew (11) absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Thank you so much!

Wow! What an experience!
I booked this for my husband’s birthday and, wow, what an experience. My only regret is being a spectator and not taking part. Having said that, I still had a great experience. Spectators stay with the group, are free to ask questions and join in, I just didn’t get the ‘bird on the hand’.
We were introduced to all the birds (even the ones that weren’t flown on the day). Then we flew Fletcher the owl who was very friendly, followed by Elvis who is huge, but great fun as he displayed his tricks. Tea/cold drinks were provided (including spectators), before watching Scarlett the Red Kite catching food in the air and flying to the glove. We met a beautiful barn own, Ophelia, then spent time with the delightful burrowing owls, Cheese and Pickle.
What a fantastic experience – small group so you get the ‘bird on the hand’ many times as they fly from glove to glove. Plenty of time is spent with each bird, and staff are full of knowledge and happy to answer questions.
Both myself and my husband had a great time. Next time (there will definitely be a next time) I will be fully participating alongside him. We’re even considering the full day with the big birds! Birds are prey truly are awesome, our garden birds now seem boring in comparison 😀
