About the experience

Product ID: 11497

If you're looking for a thrilling experience with magnificent birds of prey, you must meet Becky in Coalville, North West Leicestershire! Becky offers half-day falconry sessions, owl experiences, and private family/small group visits at her small but perfectly formed centre in Heather. Becky and her birds are based out of Cattows Farm, a 300-acre working farm that hosts a spacious aviary for the birds and a delightful wooden cabin welcome office for Becky. This venue is well-known for pick-your-own fruit, farm shops, and events, too. Becky's knowledge and passion for her birds of prey are unparalleled. She organises and participates in flying displays for schools, events, fairs, and even weddings. And now, she invites small groups to visit her base for a truly unforgettable experience. On arrival at Cattows Farm, Becky will give you a talk about raptors, their history, how they are trained, and the all-important safety brief and advice on how to approach and handle the birds. You'll learn about the characteristics of different species and enjoy hands-on time with the birds, with no more than four people in each group. Don't miss this unique opportunity to spend time with these magnificent creatures. Book your birds of prey experience voucher online now and get ready for an unforgettable adventure with Becky and her birds of prey!

The birds of prey experience was fantastic, Becky was a brilliant host and bird mum and was very knowledgeable. We all got to be really hands on with all of the birds. A great day out with the family

This was a Christmas gift for family members,none of us knew quite what to expect. Becky was a lovely lady who clearly knew her stuff She was very friendly, answered all our questions in detail. She explained the history of falconry and, amongst many other points of interest explained that certain birds have an optimum weight for flying Who knew A wonderful experience, so interesting in many ways, I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it.
