Ok, so you've met our birds and fell in love with one of our family. That's ok, it happens!

Caring for a bird of prey whether it's a 5oz Kestrel or a 7lb Golden Eagle, takes a lot of time, effort and of course money.  Each has a specific and expensive diet. This will consist of day old chick, rat, mouse and quail. Obviously we can't pop down to the local pet shop or supermarket for this food, so have to source it from specialist breeders. Add this to the time needed to train, fly and maintain their enclosures- and you can see why we appreciate your help!

You can now adopt any of our birds for an annual fee of just £35.00. Perfect as a gift for someone or as a treat for yourself!

In return, you will receive:
 
 ~ A certificate of Adoption
      
 ~ A photograph of your adopted bird

 ~ An information sheet on the species
      
 ~ A keyring of your adopted bird

 ~ An invitation to meet and handle your chosen bird at one of our Open Days!

You will also know that your contribution is helping to make a difference to the life of the bird you love... Thank you
