The owl centre has opened its doors to the public after being closed for winter. The first displays of the season went well despite us keepers being a bit nervous! well we have had a break after all!
We have been focusing on getting our flying team back into the routine of doing displays, so far our Barn owl "Lofty" and our Milky eagle owl "Sarabi" have been the stars of the show whilst the other birds continue training. We hope that within a week or two the other owls will be up to scratch and once again ready to take part in the displays! We have an extensive team and we are proud to be able to introduce people to many different species and talk about the myths,wonders and superstitions that surround them. I just love seeing peoples faces when they come up close and personal with something as large and imposing as a Eurasian eagle owl or something as small and dainty as a Tropical screech owl!
The weather has been unfortunately unforgiving recently but Saturday and Sunday were lovely, clear days, I think it was a sign! Today was however a horrible mixture of rain, sleet, snow and wind but some lovely people braved the harsh conditions to come and visit the owls. Thankfully our indoor flying arena means we can put on displays no matter what the weather. That means come rain, hail or snow we will always be there to put on a good show! So come along and get up close and personal with our owls and learn all about the wonders that surround these wonderful birds. Who knows? you may have a wing brush your head or a beak gently nibble your finger!
