Additional Information

At I SEVEN VENTI DEL POLLINO, we focus on the hands-on learning about birds of prey and falconry, a subject recently designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Our establishment is Calabria’s sole wildlife falconry facility where you can embark on an INTERACTIVE instructional journey. This includes workshops shedding light on environment and rural culture and immerses visitors in the enthralling and mystical realm of birds of prey, fabulous creatures showcasing profound stature. Gradually, you’ll gain nature-inspired understanding of the lives of various birds of prey that inhabit our centre. You could meet Shira, our noble eagle owl, Cloud, the intriguing barn owl, Zeus, the mischievous buzzard, among numerous others. All these can be explored through a narrative interwoven with biology, concluding with a breathtaking encounter with Abel, the golden eagle, where you’ll be close enough to hear his heart pound! The thrill is sure to be overwhelming! However, if you’re anticipating a circus or a zoo experience, you might want to reconsider your visit.

Amazing place - Great place and great initiative. It is not every day that you have the opportunity to interact with these beautiful predators. Roberto and Pietro introduced me to their world with complete professionalism and introduced me to their mentees, sharing a lot of information about the specimen. There was also a lot of commitment, despite the language barrier (we communicated with the help of a translator). We need more of such places and such people. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in nature - just remember that this place is not a zoo, but a habitat, and you should respect this place - those looking for ordinary entertainment, will not find what they are looking for here.

Beautiful and mysterious birds of prey - I was visiting the center with my two children aged 23 and 17. The visit lasted 3 hours but I assure you that time flew, Roberto made us immerse ourselves in the world of birds of prey in an interactive way, the boys were involved in first person and were fascinated by the birds of prey that they saw concluding the meeting with "His Majesty" the golden eagle. Recommendation to visit everyone, especially the boys. Those arriving by car must pay a little attention because the entrance is hardly visible

Experience to do! - Great experience, Roberto is a trained falconer and loves what he does. In addition to activity with birds of prey, attention must be paid to his teachings, which we should all treasure. The well-being of nature is also ours.

Afternoon of birds of prey, greenery and a strong passion - Right away with Roberto you feel at ease and immerse yourself in his passion and his world even if a few moments before you knew nothing about hawks, owls and eagles. An experience in the green in contact with animals that definitely Recommendation to a family with children. Roberto Recommendation in the didactic part something like a book or a cartoon of the animals he talks about to make younger children more involved. The educational part for adults was sometimes fun, always interesting and never boring. Recommendation the visit definitely.
