This Private Falconry Lesson is a combination of both Lessons 1 & 2. This is most suited to participants who would like the most in-depth, comprehensive lesson on the amazing world of Birds of Prey and the Ancient Art of Falconry as you delve into a world you never knew existed!

Part 1

You will be taken to meet the school’s entire team of raptors. First up will be one of our small Owl species. You will be taught about the species while you learn how to recall the Owl from perch to gloved fist in preparation for the larger species. Have your camera at hand as these Owls are super cute and do love an "owl" selfie! We then make our way to the flying area where the Hawk has plenty trees to fly from, here you will be taught how to correctly recall a Hawk from the treetops to your gloved fist to feed and then to return to the trees. You will have the opportunity to do this several times and we will help you to get some great photos and videos on your mobile device. Under supervision of the Falconer, you will take the Hawk for some free flying where the bird will follow you as you stroll the beautiful grounds of Lyrath Estate. Flying from tree to tree and swooping down to land on your gloved fist on command, you will discover how intelligent the species are as they allow you a glimpse into their world.

Part 2

Then your second Hawk is chosen for you and is taken to the flying field where you really learn how individual their personalities are! After some free flying with the Hawk, we then introduce you to our Amazing Falcon species for some ariel acrobatics as they fly in pursuit of a lure the Falconer has produced, a favourite endeavour of the Falcon as there is always a substantial reward to finish.

A bonus for those that choose this option is a meet & greet with our Chilean Blue Eagle “Priscilla” - she is a real beauty.
