Introduction to Falconry: Birds of Prey Field Training & Handling

Oviedo, FL

We invite you to a rare and exclusive opportunity reserved for students with a genuine interest in falconry! We are thrilled to offer a privately crafted VIP small-group experience that brings the 4,000-year-old art of falconry to life. Participants will learn from an expert falconer the species, rules, and rich history of this ancient tradition while working hands-on with one falcon, two hawks, and one owl. Following a brief training session, the group will take to the field as these magnificent birds of prey soar from the trees and respond to your call. Each participant will have an opportunity to wear the glove and have a bird fly to them. Additionally, students will get to witness the birds feeding as part of the live demonstrations.
