Our Falconry Experience Days
Experience Days
At Cheshire Falconry we believe that experience
days should be something very special. Our experience days are
perfect gifts for
yourself or a loved one. We provide falconry experiences that are
unique and offer quality and service that are second to none. We
do this by putting the most emphasis on allowing our guests to
get hands-on with birds of prey. Our collection of trained birds
is large enough to ensure that a participant will get as much “flying
time” as is possible. Thus after a short introduction on
all of our experience days you will be whisked away to the flying
arena to begin your hands-on enjoyment. Several of our experiences
comprise a full day making our experience days something really
special.
If you are unsure which one of our experience days is suitable
for you then read on as we attempt the impossible and try to
pigeon hole each session for you.
Meet the Birds : This is an excellent session for bird lovers,
bird watchers and any adult that would like a day out with a difference.
Aimed at providing an introduction to birds of prey with as much
hands-on experience provided as is possible in the three hours
this session is a best seller.
Walk on the Wildside : Provides its participants
with plenty of handling of birds of prey but lacks the variety
of species as in
this session you will concentrate on the hunting abilities of the
harris hawk as it flies free in the Cheshire Countryside. Birdwatchers
particularly enjoy this session as they are seeing birds behaving
as nature intended, something you would be privileged to witness
in their natural environment.
The Full
Day Falconry Experience : Ideal for that special gift
as it combines Meet the Birds (morning session) with Walk on the
Wildside (afternoon session). In short, this experience will appeal
to everybody and is probably our most popular experience day.
Owls : They just do it for some people.
This became apparent early on in our “meet the birds” sessions.
In response to popular demand we conceived the Owl Encounter
where owl lovers
could spend an afternoon handling and flying their favourite birds.
Eagle Encounter :
For the adventurous, brave and intrepid the Eagle Encounter has
to be our ultimate experience
day. Lots of
handling, lots of flying and not just the “normal” birds
you might expect to fly on the other sessions. This experience
day includes the really big birds- the eagles. These truly magnificent
creatures have no natural predators, except man of course but then
when one of them is sitting on your glove we dare say that it has
the upper hand!
Junior Owl Experience : Youngster under
the age of twelve need not worry as we have the perfect Experience for
them. They can handle and fly an owl for half an hour or so under
the supervision
of a parent and a professional falconer.
About Our Experience Days - Gift Vouchers
Gift Experience Vouchers are the ideal way to give your loved
one an extra special present without committing them to a particular
date. Cheshire Falconry Gift Vouchers are available for each one
of our Falconry Experiences and each is unique to the particular
format contained therein. At present, all of our Gift Vouchers
are supplied in the form of a card with the front face printed
with a design by renowned wildlife artist Colin Woolf. When the
card is opened facing the recipient is the gift voucher itself
which explains what experience the lucky recipient has been bought
plus information regarding spectators and what they must do in
order to redeem the experience voucher. Alongside this on the inside
left plate of the card there is plenty of space to personalise
the card yourself and insert your own message.
Cheshire Falconry’s experience vouchers
make the perfect gift. We will send them out to you by first
class post on reciept
of the payment for your order, whether online or over the phone.
