WITH INDOOR DISPLAY AREA! Rain or shine, a visit to Eagles Flying is a great day out!

During the highly entertaining and interactive bird shows you can experience eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures and owls swooping right over your head or landing next to you. Some of them even allow visitors to touch them, but please ask one of the bird trainers first. You might even have the chance of a bird landing on your bare hand.

You have never been that close to a bird of prey!

Different groups of these birds have special ways to fly and hunt. Eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures and owls will demonstrate their unique skills.

During the guided tours and shows, staff and trainers inform you about the biology of these birds and their important role in nature. If you ever had a question about birds of prey, just ask.

What Happens During the Show

Each programme begins with time to explore the aviaries and parklands before the main flying demonstration. Trainers then present birds one by one, explaining how each species hunts, flies and survives in the wild. Watch white-tailed eagles land within arm's reach, see hawks skim low over the audience, and marvel at vultures and owls showing off their very different flying styles. The indoor display area means the show continues in wet weather, so nothing is cancelled when clouds roll in. Arrive early to secure a good seat, especially during the summer season from late March through early November. For opening times and admission rates, see our Information pages.

Tour groups are welcome

Per show we can provide seating for more than 550 people. Larger coach parties are welcome and should contact us in advance via our Contact page.
