comment Latest Reviews

  • We had an amazing falconry experience! Dan was incredibly knowledgeable, especially about the Eurasian Eagle Owl, and his passion for falconry really shone through. He was friendly and approachable, making sure each of us had a chance to interact with the owl up close. It was a memorable, hands-on experience that left us feeling both thrilled and informed. Highly recommended for anyone interested in getting to know these magnificent birds!
    Thank you Dan.
