As yet I have not been there, but I have heard a lot about this place from good friends, friends that have had there photos taken with some beautiful birds, envious yes,Can't wait to visit, it's in my bucket list for now, just waiting to save some money up to go there
The centre could be amazing but lacks love, with having the only falconer away the place has a putrid smell to each enclosure and looks unloved (nettles, poo all over).There needs to be another falconer and a investment to clean the enclosures regularly. Some of the birds are in much smaller enclosures than what they should be.With love this place could be awesome, but at this point in time feels lacking of love.
A wonderful afternoon spent with my granddaughter who was so excited to have the opportunity to hold an owl and was amazed by the talking cockatoo. Staff were helpful and informative during the display, very enjoyable time.
Took my family for a trip, expecting to be here a few hours. 16 entrance fees and we were there 45 mins maximum. I saw 1 member of staff the whole time we were there.The overall appearance was run down but easily accessible for people to walk around and suitable for pushchairs and wheel chairs. Very few signage on the cages so little information about the birds and why they were there. We're they rescue or breeding? Breed of bird? They had about 3/4 different breeds of owl, couldn't tell you what they were called though.The cages appeared too small for the birds and we saw about 3 different species trying to fly, but just hitting the fencing instead. The cages were filthy and some of the cages reminded me of prison cells. There was a sign saying they were like this to give them the feeling of natural habitat.. their natural habitat isn't a small enclosure sadly. There is a park on site, however on further inspection it was unsafe and rickety so we quickly moved away from the area, much to the disappointment of the children. We didn't stay for the display, as by that point we were utterly disappointed with our trip that had taken over an hour to get too. No food or drink beverages on site at all, but there is a small gift shop. Needless to say we won't be returning here again.
Front of house staff was friendly and helpful , give some good advice on where to eat in the area. Excellent fly display of hawks falcons and an owl. A lot of good work has been carried out there since my last visit , and it was lovely to see the young falcons on the lawn. Very enjoyable couple of hours out on a summers day
