🦅🍻 who said a trip to the pub was just about pints ??? 🍻 🦅

We had the most amazing falconry experience at the pub, and honestly… we’re not sure who was more impressed us or the birds! 😂

Getting up close to these amazing birds of prey was such a special experience. They were beautiful, majestic and clearly far more well- behaved than some of the regulars.

There were plenty of smiles, a few “ooooohs” and absolutely no shortage of feathers flying !!

A huge thank you to everyone who made it such a memorable day. We might have arrived for the falconry however most people definitely stayed for the pub part too… hahaha priorities! 😂😂

Birds, banter and beers what more could you want !

Thank you everyone who came to visit, just walk past and take the time to chat to our workers.we hope you had just as much as a lovely time we did.

We also want to say a big thank you to Caroline and the team at Ye Olde Talbot for the amazing time and the amazing cake they provided which tasted amazing!!!!

Hello Falcon friends. We did a falconry experience last month and the fantastic customers managed to capture a beautiful Birds Eye view of our falconry centre….. heheh get the joke 😂

Nestled amongst the trees and surrounded by nature,our falconry centre is a peaceful home for our birds of prey- and a place where we can share our passion for falconry with visitors.Did I mention that the centre is built from the grounds up by the owner Gareth showing the dedication and passion we have for these incredible birds.

From our aviaries tucked into the woodland to our beautifully maintained grounds, every part of the centre is designed with our birds in mind. And of course there is always someone keeping a watchful eye over this place.

We thought we would share these beautiful aerial views to give you guys a different perspective of where the magic happens.

Come and visit us, meet our birds and experience Falconry up close. But remember to wear shoes that are comfortable as it is an adventure packed experience for the whole family to enjoy and remember.

🌟🦅 A LONG TIME AGO, IN A VILLAGE SHOW NOT SO FAR,FAR AWAY 🌟🦅

Yesterday we took the birds along to Mayfield Village show, and it turns out our falconry centre has a serious Star Wars problem….because we absolutely LOVE IT especially Mr Jingles our Harris hawk! 😂

We arrived with the birds of prey and somehow ended up surrounded by Stormtroopers, a Jawa and what appears to be the most heavily armed bird handler in the galaxy. 😂🦅

Our Harris Hawk Jingles, our Gry Falcon Sky, and our common buzzard Phantom were clearly delighted to meet the empire.. although judging by their expression, they were probably thinking :

“We find your lack of mice disturbing !” 🐭

The Stormtroopers were very keen to meet our birds, but we had to explain that Harris Hawks are not impressed by shiny white armour and definitely don’t accept imperial credits. 😂

We may run a falconry centre but clearly then force is strong with our feathers 🪶

A huge thank you to everyone who came to see us yesterday- especially to the people who was brave enough to hold the stormtrooper’s of the falconry world

We really appreciate all of your support and we hope to see you all again!

May the force be with you.
May the talons be sharp.
And may the mice be plentiful. 🐭

Sorry it’s been a little while since our last post – we’ve been keeping busy behind the scenes and, as they say, time really does fly when you’re having fun! 🦅

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing an absolutely fantastic flying experience with two wonderful customers and Mr Jingles the Harris Hawk. Watching these incredible birds do what they do best never gets old, and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces reminds us why we love what we do.

We even asked one of the owls for an update on social media, but they just said, “Who?” 🦉

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us. We’ll be sharing more of our feathered adventures with you, so keep your eyes on the page… we promise not to ruffle too many feathers by disappearing for so long again! 🪶

See you all soon!
