At the North Somerset Bird of Prey Centre we pride ourselves on our fun, educational sessions that aim to engage and inspire students of all ages.

Our interactive sessions can help support a number of topics in animal studies and fit in with the national cirriculum, with the added bonus of students seeing our animals up close!

With Educational Talks and Animal Workshops available, we have something to suit a range of group sizes and budgets.

Our talks are not just limited to children and students either. Our outreach team regularly visits care homes, hospices, organised groups, universities, corporate events, support groups and hospitals.

Educational Talks

Show & Tell - includes 4 animals (usually 2 birds of prey, 1 mammal and 1 reptile) during this 30 minute session

Our outreach team will also bring additional teaching aids that students can touch and pass around which may include feathers, raptor eggs, falconry gloves, owl pellets, snake skin, spider shed, etc

During our talks we will cover a range of subjects such as nocturnal animals, predator/prey relationships, adaptations, habitats and lifecycles. We can also tie in any subjects you are currently studying.
