Bird of Prey Demonstrations

We like to showcase a variety of birds of prey, so we will fly a variation of hawks, buzzards, kestrels, falcons and eagles; they all fly in their own unique way!

At demonstrations, these birds will perform a mixture of gliding, soaring, diving, stooping, hovering and even arial catches! Our falcons will chase a lure in excess of 60mph, flying out over trees and other trade stands before finishing in the arena. Our broad wings (buzzards, eagles, kites) often show off by circuiting the arena, in good weather, as well as flying post to post in low flights before landing on the glove for food. Our kestrels will hover within the main arena as well as over crowds, staying perfectly still before pouncing on their food.

We try our best not to let weather get in the way of our demonstrations, birds are well equipped to fly in light to moderate rain, so as long as the rain isn't too heavy (and people are brave enough to watch) we will still be out flying!

We provide our birds their own shelter, so the rain will not affect our static stand.

In very rare cases, extreme gusts/winds or torrential, non-stop rain, we may not be able to fly our birds. This is very unusual and can only be decided on the day. In this case, we will discuss the weather with the event organisers and try to arrange alternative display provisions.

Generally, our flying demonstrations are flexible to adapt to the timings of your event, and can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 45 minutes! Depending o the length of time, we can fly up between 2-5 different birds. If you would like more than one demonstration, let us know at the earliest convince so we can ensure we bring enough birds with us who are happy to show off to the crowds!

Depending on your request and number of demonstrations, we supply stands that are either 6m, 8m or 14m in length and 4m in depth. We supply our own netted border to keep our birds safe and bring our own perches and name tags for our birds. We also require access to a supply of clean, fresh water for our birds to have access to drink or bathe in if they wish.
