  • Please note that we have seasonal Summer and Winter flyers to ensure all our birds get a well deserved rest and time for the moult, where they rest completely and eat a very rich diet to aid with the moulting of old feathers and the growth of strong new feathers. If there is a particular bird you would like to meet, please discuss this with our friendly falconers upon booking.
