Eagles Flying

Eagles Flying is a scientifically run Wildlife Sanctuary specializing on Birds of Prey and Owls. We focus on "hands on" interaction between our well trained animals and our visitors. During our educational flying demonstrations members of the audience can have a bird of prey land on their hand or have Eagles, Falcons, Hawks or Vultures stoop inches over their heads while Scientists inform in a friendly and fun way. Our visitors can also visit our unique "Touch-Zoo" where they can play and pet "Tui & Alan" our Foxes, get pick pocketed by "Grizzly" our tame Raccoon, have "Monty" our 4 meter Python around their shoulders or get up close and personal with any of the other unusual animals. Get closer than you have ever been to the masters of the sky. Eagles Flying really is an unforgettable experience and a must see for people of all ages and interests.

Thanks a mil for a great day out. Brilliant for kids and adults alike. Well kept sanctuary with lovely, knowledgeable staff. The show with birds of prey is great and very interesting. Some kids/adults get to participate. But don't worry if your child doesn't get picked, you can do lovely pictures at the end and all the kids who want to, can hold an owl (the highlight of the day for my son who is a big Harry Potter fan :-) The petting farm was a bonus. Among other animals, you could see a fox, a raccoon up-close. The staff answered all your questions. We will be back. Keep up the wonderful work that you are doing there. It is inspirational.
