Be amazed at these magnificent birds of prey, a show, the like of which you will have never seen before. These flying vultures have a staggering wing span of 8 feet that creates a spectacular display that will impress even the most dedicated ornithologist or country pursuit enthusiast. The shows take place twice daily and after each performance the handlers are available to answer questions and the public can also get up close and personal with these remarkable birds. The static display is open all day and, if you are there at the right time, you may have the chance to feed these birds (not for the squeamish though!).








Calling all children (and adults). The farmer as come to the show to do some shopping, and he seems to have company!




The farmer always calls into our show but unfortunately he always brings half the farm with him. He often needs people to play with his animals while he is shopping which can be anything from feeding to stroking, and cuddling to brushing. The farmer is always grateful for all the help he can get. This is a unique opportunity to handle and learn about animals that you don’t find curled up in front of the fire at home.

Please don’t forget to wash your hands afterwards.

Conservation through education is a vital factor in the future of these majestic and mysterious birds. By giving a hands on experience we instill in others a desire to learn and understand more about these wonderful Birds of Prey. This raises an awareness of their required habitat which encourages a deeper interest and understanding in environmental concerns.

Our Owls come from various continents showing the diverse and varied characteristics that can be seen in this species which can be found in all countries of the world.
