Bird Of Prey Experience Days: Of all the beautiful birds in the sky, owls are perhaps our favourite, and that’s why we’re delighted to offer this two-hour handling experience in Kent. Fellow owl lovers can meet a variety of stunning species, hold them, and learn more from the centre’s friendly keepers.

The experience takes place at a top birds of prey centre in Knockholt, Kent. On arrival, you’ll be greeted by their experienced falconers, who’ll begin with a brief introduction. If you’ve any questions about the day-to-day running of the place or its other feathered residents—now’s the time to ask! Next, you’ll be introduced to several majestic species of owl—including a Bengal eagle-owl, Eurasian eagle-owl, barn owl and boobook owl. All have plenty of experience meeting new people, and they’ll happily allow you to admire, photograph (without flash) and even hold them! Over two hours, you’ll learn all about their individual habits and behaviours, before the session concludes, and you’re free to explore the centre’s six-acre nature trail at leisure.

The owl encounter in Kent makes an unforgettable experience gift for bird lovers aged eight and over. Surprise them with an Experience Days gift voucher today—and it’s sure to be an absolute hoot!
