About the experience
Are you ready for an unforgettable experience? Imagine meeting the skilled hunters of Hertfordshire, the owls, with their super-sensitive hearing and silent flight. These fascinating creatures come in different shapes and sizes and live in the heart of the Rib Valley, between Welwyn and Harlow. Owls are cared for by Charlotte and her father, John, and you can join them for a two-hour visit. During your visit, you'll learn about the different types of owls. You'll meet Ouzo, the Siberian Eagle Owl, who is a hunting master; James, the Barn Owl, with his gorgeous heart-shaped face; Earl, the Great Grey Owl with a brilliant name; and Saki, the Brown Asian Wood Owl, who has been hand-reared since he was two weeks old. You'll have the opportunity to learn about the history of owls, how they are trained (which isn't easy!), and how they hunt. You'll even have plenty of handling time too. The first time you put on a falconer's glove and an owl delicately perches on your hand is an exhilarating experience. You'll get to see those ferocious claws up close, look into those big, big eyes and appreciate the stunning tones and patterns in their feathers. Owls are fascinating creatures with mesmerising eyes and the ability to turn their heads 270 degrees. They have a near all-round vision, perfect for keeping an eye on their prey. They are carnivorous and some are even cannibals. Most are nocturnal, and many have incredible hearing, which allows them to detect a mouse scurrying away from a great distance. These owls are calm and relaxed in the company of humans while still remaining wild birds. Some even love to pose for selfies with visitors!
