I bought this for my Husband and I went along as a spectator (I was not very enthusiasitc i must admit) but we both loved it. The different types of Birds they allow you to hold is fabulous and the show they put on is great ... some get very up close and personnel (one even pecked my welly) Overall was a great day out and enjoyed by all ... Very happy customer!
Stunning, Great Day Out

Introduction to Birds of Prey
A fabulous day, learnt so much and achieved one of my 'must do' things, The Hawk Conservancy at Andover is a great place for a day out and the bird of prey experience is second to none, Nick and Mike who were the instructors were brilliant and ensured everyone (5 of us,didn't know anyone else), were relaxed and knew what we were doing, we got to fly harris hawks, a vulture, 2 different types of owl, and we also got to hold a Bald Eagle, all I can say again is what a great experience, if you haven't done it, should be on your must do list, after our session finished we went to watch one of the flying displays, great fun
Unforgettable First Class Experience

A highly personal experience given by a true professional, intelligent and driven man. His enthusiasm is infectious and the knowledge he imparts is done in a way that any teacher would be proud of. Taking a Harris Hawk for a walk through the fields, seeing it fly free following your route and returning to your glove when you want it to was a remarkable and unexpected event. I am so glad we chose Ben Long Falconry for our Red Letter Day.
Very Interesting And Very Enjoyable Day...

Introduction to Birds of Prey
I had a very interesting and very enjoyable afternoon at Ben Long Falconry. Being able to fly different birds and land on your hand and feed was just amazing. Watching them chase and catch the lure was so incredible. Watching the hawks catch the lure that was connected to a kite was really interesting, just seeing what they can do is amazing. Ben Long was very interesting and very helpful and certainly knows his stuff...Overall a very good afternoon, certainly worth every penny...Thank You very much Ben Long......

I took my mother to the Falconary introduction for mothers day last Sunday. She is eighty years old and had a superb time and was looked after very well. They (the staff) played it just right as I watched from a distance. So much so I'm going in a few weeks myself.
A Brilliant Afternoon

Introduction to Birds of Prey
Ben Long, (Master Falconer) was really interesting, very knowlegeable but pitched it just right for we beginners. We were told about all aspects of the falconry from the weighing and feeding to the flying out.There were just four of us which meant that all had plenty of hands on experience with the falcons. The day should have been from 1.20pm to 4.30pm but we had an extra hour which was unexpected. I would highly recommend this Red Letter Day.
Extremely Enjoyable!

This turned out to be a better experience than I had hoped for. To be so hands on with the Hawks was a great thrill and the guys at Eagle Hights were very patient and made the day one I will never forget. Many thanks.

This was a Not To Be Missed experience. If anyone has doubts on whether they will enjoy it, I can certaintly thoroughly recommend this to anyone who wants to get close up to magnificent birds of prey, and have the exprience of handling these amazing birds and observing their natural hunting skills. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about their birds, especially Ed, who had a wealth of exprience in handling and training the birds. Along with the birds of prey there are numerous other animals to be seen, for example Cheetas, huskies, reptiles and camels etc. Well worth a visit!
Absolutley Brilliant

I went on this experience just watching birds off prey in the sky, but three hours at the falconry blew me away and i am ready to do it again.

Introduction to Birds of Prey
We were slightly dubious on arrival at the venue - very difficult to find and no signs so we wondered what we were going to get. However, we enjoyed an excellent day. The falconer was extremely knowledgeable, clearly loved his birds and took plenty of time to talk us threw the birds and we learnt a lot. There was a lot of time spent flying the birds and watching them train. There were only 2 people on the experience which made it very individual but guests were welcome to observe meaning that everyone enjoyed the day. Good value for money - would recommend.
