Then a little history lesson on falconry and handling Raptors. You will learn and master the elusive falconer’s knot. Become familiar with falconry equipment, while you try your hand at making some.
You will discover that all of the birds here are captive-bred birds of prey that are trained to work for a living, doing anything from flying demonstrations, Educational visits, to pest bird management.
After lunch, (included) you will be introduced to the Raptor you will be handling. With the basic knowledge of handling your Raptor. You are ready for your first experience having a walk with a Hawk upon your fist through our Native West Coast Rain Forest, fern laden floor and meandering creek, then onto your first flights.
