Kind, enlightening and incredibly fun experience. - Very knowledgeable host, the birds are well cared for and loved. If you’re interested in birds or wildlife, flying some of these gorgeous creatures yourself is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.

Excellent well worth the time and money - Really enjoyable experience for the whole family, the host was knowledgeable and interacted so well with our young family. Learning and flying the birds was fun and our small children were in awe. Highly recommend to anyone local or visiting if you haven’t already popped along.

What an amazing day! Book now. - I booked the Couples Experience as a surprise for my husband, as he loves birds and we were staying in Longtown on holiday. Gary was absolutely brilliant and extremely knowledgeable, taking us around his various owls and other birds of prey...Hootie, Alan, and Buzz, to name a few, were absolutely gorgeous, and taking Buzz out on our walk was simply amazing. He flew with us as we walked the grounds, perching and eating, and flying back and forth. Our owl experience was just as good as Alan was doing the same over a shorter distance. We truly had an amazing day, it was something we will remember for the rest of our lives, and a huge thank you to Gary for his patience and expertise! Absolutely brilliant morning. Book it now.

Great afternoon with a helpful and informative guide - We visited with our learning disabled daughter and Gary couldn't have been more understanding and accommodating. The whole experience was informative, well managed and yer suitably informal.

Excellent couple of hours - We went with my 10 year old and 17 year old ( difficult at best of times to find something they both enjoyed) 2 words! They loved it

Amazing fun, unique experience that can be enjoyed from 4 to 84 and more! - This was a really enjoyable family activity that was interesting and fun across the generations. We were a family group from 4 to 84 years, not previously particularly into birds but we couldn’t fail to be fascinated. Gary was confident, knowledgeable and entertaining and we were able to get really close to the birds, learn about them and fly them. We can’t recommend this enough - excellent value and a really unique experience. Amazing!
