Owl
Experience Days
All of our owl experience days are private, just you and your chosen guests! We have no groups or crowds, our day is all about you and you can ask as many questions as you like!
Most of our experience days take place at Bert’s Barrow farm in Hillam, please ensure you wear appropriate clothing and wellies if appropriate. The field can be uneven and muddy when wet so please be mindful. Walking is included in our experience days, if you have difficulty walking, please contact us before booking we will be more than happy to accommodate you.
All of our owl experience days are weather dependent, if the weather is unsuitable you will be contacted to rearrange your date.
If there is nothing that catches your eye, please don’t hesitate to contact us we will do our best to work with you to create your perfect day.
Owl Encounter
Owl experience Handle, fly and feed a range of our beautiful owls! Upon arrival, over a hot drink, you will be introduced to the owls you will be spending your session with, in this time your falconer will show you how to handle the owls correctly and brief you on the encounter; then it’s your turn! Throughout your encounter, the owls are in your control, with a falconer on hand, you will fly the owls to and from your own gloved hand.
Feel the thrill when the owl lands on your arm for the first time, and watch them then take off and take their place on a perch that is set out for them. Don’t forget your camera! Although we know this experience is unforgettable, it’s nice to have some photographs to show off! Your falconer will be more than happy to take photographs of you flying the owls.
All ages welcome on this amazing experience. We also offer owl handling sessions, no flying involved in this session. This is perfect for people who just want a chance to get up close and personal with the birds rather than watch them fly. Anyone who wants to overcome their fears, this is the encounter for you!
Please note that this experience is weather permitted. If the weather is unsuitable then we will be forced to rearrange the day. Children 16 & under must be accompanied by an adult. Suitable clothing is permitted. Please remember we are outside and it may be muddy or uneven.
