Five-star Experience Days based in beautiful North Yorkshire, home to The Yorkshire Vet and James Herriot. We provide high quality experiences in a fun and friendly way with plenty of “hands on” opportunities with a vast number of birds. We have been providing these experiences for over 30 years. Our experiences are highly recommended and reviewed and hard to be beaten. Amazing birds plus experienced bird staff equals a memorable experience.

If you share our passion for birds of prey and would like to get much closer and learn more about them, we offer experience days in small groups. This is a great chance to fly a variety of our birds, ask our knowledgeable, friendly and passionate team questions and learn more about our conservation work with vultures and other species. We have a selection of experiences to choose from where you can meet a greater variety of our birds, or a more specialised selection of owls, vultures or eagles.

Our experience days also make amazing Birthday and Christmas Gifts, perfect for all bird lovers and nature enthusiasts.
