This is a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with our superb collection of owls drawn from six different species.
They range in stature from the diminutive burrowing owls of South America, to the magnificent Bengal Eagle owls of India. Of course no owl experience would be complete without contact with our own native Barn and Tawny owls either.
All of our owls have been around people since they first hatched from their eggs and are therefore relaxed and happy to be in company with our staff and clients alike.
The owl experience session starts with an introduction to our owls where you will get to meet each and every one of them and learn a little bit about their life, both with us at the Centre and in the wild. Then after some very simple basic handling instruction, it is time to experience the thrill first hand as you fly them loose and have them return to your gloved hand!
Mid-way through our session we will have a short break for refreshments and then it is time to enjoy some more hands-on fun.
There will be ample opportunities for photographs and our staff will be more than happy to help with queries and or any special wishes you may have.
