Bird of Prey Demonstrations A high and mighty demonstration team, which can also provide for your event a reliable and professional service, with our spectacular and well presented Falcons, Eagles, Hawks, Owls and our very popular and highly entertaining Indian Tawny Eagle. With birds from ll over the world, providing a wide as representation as possible,our team has appeared over over the years at various major shows  and events, television and Zoological Parks, one of which, included "Merlins Magical Quest" with Son et Lumiere. We provide:     * Professional, well presented demonstrations with experienced, healthy, captive bred birds of prey.     * All our birds are worked regularly in public environments and are not stressed by this.     * Each bird will be catered for with proper, safe equipment, water for drinking and bathing in suitable sized baths,     * A weathering area for the those sudden downpours.     * An attended static display, between flying demonstrations where the public are catered for throughout the day.     * We provide unique and factual opportunities for adults and children interested in birds of prey, and falconry.     * We have relevant expertise in dealing with the public effectively with constructive content without the effect of being intrusive.     * Information signs for each bird and educational material will be provided to the max.     * Interest - the extent that the public are held with interest by the demonstrator/interpreter. We understand the hard work that goes into staging a successful event and we believe that it is our job to help make yours easier. If, for example, your schedule goes astray, we are more than willing to lengthen or even shorten the durations of our demonstrations, so that you know that at least one element of your event runs smoothly. Next year for example we are staging three main arenas in one show per day - one we will work very hard on. At one show we added an extra hour to our bird of prey display, and another with a demonstration from our Hawks and pointer working effectively together to fill in the "empty" arena time. THE DEMONSTRATIONS: For each demonstration 3 - 4 chosen birds will be flown. In the first demonstration: we will introduce our team of fast and high flying falcons and hawks, demonstrating Falconry past and present. In the second demonstration: We will introduce our specially trained birds of prey for our conservation and educational demonstration. this will include birds such as the owls, eagles and vultures. Both sessions are very informative, entertaining, and with audience participation. We will provide specialized props to our demonstrations that will provide the audience with the concept of natural behaviours in the wild. Each demonstration will be interpreted with two raptor display educators using hands free microphone headsets. As staff we will be mindful of the health and safety procedures in all areas dealing with birds of prey on and off site. We have full public liability cover.
