Brilliant day spent in the company of Gary and his birds. Highly recommend this as a day out. The birds are beautiful, well looked after and so well trained while Gary is an entertaining and informative host. Well worth a trip.
Absolutely thrilling experience, Gary's enthusiasm and passion showed and made the experience all the more worthwhile. He made us all feel relaxed and welcome. The birds were all well behaved and well trained!! This experience is a must if you're in the area. Would highly recommend it.
My family (kids are 9 and 12) had the most amazing experience on the private family one hour visit. Gary clearly loves and knows his birds so much and his enthusiasm and interest in the knowledge about them was infectious. We learned about then got to fly some of the magnificent birds in this truly special experience.
Amazing place. I thought the price was a little on the expensive side before we went, but after seeing my son's face light up, it was worth every penny. Personally, I would say groups of 2 allow you to get the most out of your time. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. Birds are very well cared for. Make sure you book in advance, you can't just turn up. I 100% recommend this place and will be back.
Gary was fantastic, friendly and very knowledgeable. Me and my partner felt at home. Flew different types of birds and went on the hawk walk. What a wonderful little business! Thanks again Gary! You should definitely give it a go!
A really great and enjoyable family session today at the centre. Gary was very patient with our young sons and even allowed our 18 month old to spend time with the birds. The adults really enjoyed flying the birds too. Many thanks for making us so welcome.
