Huxley's Specialised Events

Insight Days Our Insight Days are one day courses designed to give you an idea of the commitment involved in keeping and flying birds of prey and owls. They are not just for people who are interested in keeping one, but also for those of you who would like to find out more and be able to spend time with them. The day is a combination of practical and theoretical work and will cover such areas as the legal aspects of keeping birds of prey, their care, feeding and training. After lunch, provided by us, you will be learning how to train a bird and will be picking up and flying many different species during the afternoon. This is simply a wonderful opportunity to get close to a variety of birds of prey, which is just not always possible. A word of warning though: Your interest will probably grow and grow as you find out more about these fascinating raptors. It is also the chance to meet other like-minded people, and many friendships have started on an Insight Day. This is how your day would progress: 10:00am - Coffee/Tea and Introductions 10:30am - The art and basics of falconry and raptor keeping 12 noon - The Falconers knot 12:30pm - Picking up and manning your bird 01:00pm - LUNCH 02:15pm - Bird training followed by flying the birds free 04:30pm - Coffee/Tea and any Questions These days generally run from April / October from 10:00am till 05:00pm Pricing: £75 per person £20 deposit (non refundable) per person To book please either fill out the form below, contact us or even pop into the centre and see us! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Name:_____________________________________________________________________ Address:___________________________________________________________________ Tel No:____________________________________________________________________ Email:_____________________________________________________________________ Voucher: YES / NO Recipient’s Name:___________________________________________________________ Deposit (£20)?
