Ashy-faced owl
African Wood owl
Burrowing owl
Barred owl (hopefully!)
Northern Hawk owl
Tengmalm's owl
Tropical Screech owl
Ural owl
That's the list so far but we hope that soon many more will start laying eggs. Our Great Horned owls unfortunately failed at their first attempt this year, most likely because of the weather. Even though we provide as much food as the owls need if there is a period of bad weather they instinctively know that they may not be able to look after owlets and sometimes abandon the eggs and will wait for better weather before trying again. However it looks like the female is getting ready to lay more eggs already! Fingers and talons are crossed and we hope this year we have a very successful breeding season and have lots of fluffy owlets!
More of our Trained owls have returned to the flying displays and we are now introducing "themed flying displays"! these include: "Extreme owls", "Owls of Britain past, present and future" and "Owls of Africa" Come along to the centre to see a unique themed display!
We also have a new and exciting feature called "Lofty's Lodge" where you can learn to speak Barn owl and even crawl inside a Barn owl nest box and discover what's inside! (listen out for bluebottles, Barn owl nests are very smelly!)
I have also created a youtube channel where I will upload videos of our owls. Check it out!
