We have one of the largest collections of flying birds in the North. The centre is home to around 100 birds from 50 different species from around the world which enables us to fly an amazing variety of birds in each of our daily free flight displays. All set in in our beautiful Yorkshire countryside. We fly a selection of owls, vultures, eagles and kites to name but a few of the different species that call the centre their home.
During our 35-40 minute flying display you can expect to get very close to our fantastic birds as they swoop, dive and soar over your head. Witness the heaviest species of eagle in the world take to the sky, marvel at the silent flight of the graceful barn owl and appreciate the beauty and importance of the vulture species to our world. Our passionate and knowledgeable bird staff will provide a light-hearted and informative commentary throughout the flying display.
If you have missed our summer flying displays don’t worry from the 18th 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.
If you’re planning a visit with us soon, here’s a reminder of our summer timetable:
Runs 7th July – 14th September

We aim to fly as many birds as possible each day (as advertised), but some weather conditions sadly may not be suitable for young or inexperienced birds and therefore may not be able to take part in the show on the day.
