This half-day course is designed to provide a
simple, hands-on introduction to the world of
falconry for those aged 10-14. Starting at 10.30,
the course starts with a behind-the-scenes guided
tour of the Sanctuary including the weatherings
& aviaries, and a close-up introduction to
birds from the five main Raptor families.
Then, a spell in our study centre will explain the mysteries of the Falconer's Knot plus the hoods, bags, bells, leashes & lures which make up the essential equipment of the falconer.
After a look at the avian diet and importance of flying weights, you will then be given the opportunity to have a hooded falcon on your fist, of which a photograph will be presented to you - along with Induction Certificate to the S.O.S. Young Falconers Club - at the end of the event. Finally you will have a grandstand seat at the mid-day flying demonstration.
The Activity Adventure starts at 10.30am and finishes at about 1.00pm. Numbers are limited, so advance booking is necessary and for non-school groups, places are limited to 6 per adventure, so please e-mail info@owlbarn.co.uk or phone 01449 711425 for dates & bookings. The cost per participant is £20.
