- elisabeth76_11Wallasey, United Kingdom53 contributionsGreat family experienceMy daughter and I visited today with my grandchildren aged 14 and 9. This was a birthday present for my daughter but it was as much a great gift for us all. Our expert was Taz. She made us feel comfortable from the start and quickly judged the dynamics of our group so that each one of us would get the very best experience. She catered so sympathetically for the grandchildren, one of whom was very nervous and the other a little more adventurous. Both girls agree they’ve had the best time and would love to go back some time. Taz is very knowledgeable, managing to explain so much to our mixed knowledge group and showing throughout, her love and understanding of these great birds. She wasn’t at all fazed if they didn’t feel like ‘performing’ she skilfully adjusted the experience with a superb sense of humour so we knew the birds were in charge. Great- just how it should be. I thought the cost of the experience was very reasonable and the time flew by- no pun intended.Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 2 July 2023

- Travel Bug8 contributionsGreat ExperienceTook part in the 'Meet the Birds' package. A well organised, educational and fulfilling experience that incorporated a number of birds from owls to eagles. Simon the instructor made the day a very memorable experience as he imparted a wealth of knowledge in the main arena and woodland walk. Highly recommended afternoon activity.Visited September 2023Travelled soloWritten 8 September 2023
- Linda950Algarve, Portugal23 contributionsBest Birthday present ever !My husband had an amazing 3 hours at Cheshire Falconry, Peter was brilliant he was so interesting had so much knowledge about the birds we learnt so much. We would recommend this experience to everyone. I bought this for my husband’s birthday I went as a spectator it was worth every penny. Thank you Peter and all the team.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 October 2023
- Sue C69 contributionsWhat a fantastic and unique experienceWhat a fantastic experience. We were a family of 5 adults and this was our first experience of Falconry ever (apart from displays). We each had 2 turns with all the birds (an owl, buzzard, harrier and eagle) and Taz (our Falconer) coaxed the harrier to demonstrate his amazing precision flying skills, he flew so close his wings brushed our faces etc. All the birds had different personalities, and Taz gave us a lot of interesting information about all the raptors. Even those in our group who were a little nervous at first were totally confident and loving it very quickly. I would certainly recommend this as a family (or adults) fun activity for its 'wow' factor. It was just amazing, thank you Taz and the birds.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 23 January 2024
- Wireless_joUnited Kingdom30 contributionsAmazing experience & valueThank you to Pete at Cheshire Falconry for truly fantastic Junior Owl Experience. My seven year old daughter is very shy and was nervous going in but Pete did a great job of setting them at ease, talking them through each handling and judging how the kids were feeling. The birds are so beautiful and each showed their unique character during the flights and talks. Pete shared a lot of interesting owl info but he balanced this with good questions and interaction with the audience. We felt privileged to have met the birds here and the value for money was excellent. We will be back as I now have my eye on a falcon flight myself!Visited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten 10 February 2024

Is the 'meet the birds' experience a one to one session or is it in a group?
Mike W
Bangor, UK15 contributions
the session I was on was a group of around 8-9 but you get plenty of time with the birds flying to and from you. the guys are giving information on the birds so you have time to listen whilst someone else has has a go. also opportunity for photos.
I'm sure they'd do 1;1 if requested.
we did the walk in the afternoon, this was only myself, daughter and one other.
