Overview
Why buy from us?
Have you always wanted to handle a bird but haven’t been sure where to start? With a leisurely stroll through the Risley woodland in Derbyshire accompanied by an experienced falconer, Ben Breward, you will be introduced to glorious Harris Hawks and other raptors kept at this garden centre. Along the way, Ben is bound to tell you about what it’s like to be a falconer and how he has trained these birds. You will soon learn his tricks of the trade as you handle the birds and fly them to your glove. Nothing ever prepares you for the first time one of these birds lands on your glove, and you’ll definitely be surprised by the sensation as you take in the birds up close. Harris Hawks are known for their brown and red feathers and you’ll no doubt be swept away by them as you notice all their beautiful features. However, they might not stay on your hand for long as they are constantly scrounging for potential prey and flying up to high tree branches. It’s safe to say, if you’ve ever been curious about these alluring creatures this is the ideal experience to start with as you’ll be eased into the birds of prey world one step at a time. This centre is ideally located a short distance away from the A52 and M1 and boasts a popular coffee shop, garden centre and petting zoo, so why not make a day of it as you escape with nature.
