Reviews
"Decent experience. Had a good 6 month wait due to constant bad weather conditions but finally got a still day and had a lovely up close and personal experience with the stunning birds. Karen the owner was very informative and passionate about what they do. Worth the wait. Garden centre next door was ideal for lunch and warm drink after."
"As a family we had a taster session for 1.5 hours. It was a fantastic experience. Karen and her team were brilliant and very welcoming, as well as knowledgeable. The birds were happy and healthy, obviously very well looked after. We will be returning very soon and I will be recommending the centre to friends and family. Thank you Karen, her team, and especially to the birds for a superb experience."
"Some really beautiful birds, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Well worth a few hours and even longer when they do the flying displays."
