Our aim is to provide our clients with individualised, exhilarating falconry experiences, working in companionship with trained birds of prey over a range of beautiful rural landscapes. These include opportunities to join us for Hawk Walks, where our fully trained hawks and knowledgeable handlers will allow you to witness the marvels of flight close up in small, intimate groups, where the emphasis is very much on clients handling and flying the birds. We also offer photography days and full hunting days with goshawks, peregrine falcons and Harris' hawks.

I have never seen such a spectacular display before at any Zoo. The wild flight bird display is a real highlight. It is so good to see such majestic and incredible birds flying free (bald eagle, Great Grey Owl, Milky Eagle Owl, barn owls, maribu stork, black Kites, Brahminy kite, white storks, pelicans, crowned cranes, white-backed vultures, turkey vulture, and a variety of macaws). It is the fourth time I have visited, I always leave wanting more and the display has been different each time. The conservation element comes across very strongly and Wild plays an important role in getting children to care about conservation and animals as well as taking part in breeding programs. I have a degree in Zoology and teach biology and this is the real deal. My four year old was blown away - again and loved walking amongst lemurs too. It isn’t a whole day thing - but it will full three hours nicely, more if you bring a picnic. Look forward to my next visit!
