🦅 Meet Louie & Ralph! 🦅

We're excited to introduce the newest additions to our active falconry team — Louie and Ralph, two beautiful Harris's Hawk brothers who are now 6 weeks old!

These young lads are already showing plenty of character and curiosity as they begin their journey into the world of falconry. Over the coming weeks, they'll be growing, training, and building the skills that make Harris's Hawks such incredible flying partners.

Before long, you'll be able to see Louie and Ralph taking to the skies in our flying displays, demonstrating the intelligence, agility, and teamwork that Harris's Hawks are famous for.

Keep an eye on our page for updates as these brothers progress through their training and prepare for their debut at the falconry centre!

❤️ Welcome to the team, Louie and Ralph!
