Eagle Handling Day for Two

Price: £250
Duration: 6½ hrs
Ref: XEAGT
 
 
  • A day handling eagles and learning all about them
  • Tour the centre seeing various different birds of prey
  • Expert personal instruction on handling the birds
  • Go out into open countryside and fly the eagle to glove
  • Experience includes lunch - and a thrill that can't be beaten

An eagle in flight is incredibly beautiful - but since eagles' natural habitats tend to be very remote, it's also very rare. With this experience you'll have the chance to get up close and personal with this deadly predator, and see their majesty and power first hand. Your experience begins with a guided tour of the bird of prey centre, where you'll see the various eagles in residence and get the chance to learn all about them. Then you'll receive expert one-to-one instruction on how to handle a bird, and find out about how they are trained. After lunch, stride out into beautiful British countryside with your instructor, where you'll fly an eagle to the glove (in Yorkshire get the chance to fly more than one type of eagle). It's an amazing opportunity to see these dramatic birds up close and watch their spellbinding flight - and there can't be many thrills to match the experience of an eagle coming in to land on your glove.

Skipton, North Yorkshire; Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire; Eynsford, Kent; Knutsford, Cheshire
