A visit to Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre is an inspiring and uplifting visit. We have three spectacular flying demonstrations daily, where over 30 of our impressive birds fly overlooking our beautiful Yorkshire countryside, all included in your entrance price. Each display takes place in our arena with a different team of birds. You can expect to get very close to our birds as they swoop over your head whilst our passionate and knowledgeable team will provide a light-hearted and informative commentary.
If you have missed our summer flying displays don’t worry from the 11th September we will be starting our Autumn flying displays. We will still be encouraging our eagles to soar, our owls to swoop and our caracars to be inquisative. We will be flying plenty of cold climate species and some new birds that will be in training.
Runs 1st July – 10th September
See birds from all across the globe! Enjoy the experience of watching and getting up close to our birds of prey demonstrating their natural behaviour in this intriguing display. You will be amazed as you experience, close up, the incredible skills of our American Kestrels and enjoy seeing pairs of owls demonstrate their ability to fly silently as they skim through the audience. See the Striated Caracara show its preferred colour and our naughty Black Vultures skimming over our audience. Watch as our pair of Stellers Sea Eagles take to the sky.
This demonstration is fun for all ages especially children.
