Derek Tindall - Birds of Prey

Derek Tindall - Birds of Prey Initally starting Adult Life as a Plumber, I've been working with Birds of Prey for
over 20 years, b

We now work regularly during season at Lincoln Castle, we also offer
"Experience Packages" at Lincoln Yurts, we work with The Heavy Horse Centre
in Spilsby, Lincolnshire and this year we "Hit the Stage" with walk ons
with the Birds for various Opera's - the list goes on as we grow. I also work alongside "Local Vets" and take on Birds that need rehabilitating and
re-introduce them into the wild

after. The Birds are rehabilitated alongside
the people I care for during my "Day Job" these people have come from
various situations and can emphasise with the Birds who have been battered
and bruised for whatever reasons, life has thrown them both a curve, together
they learn to trust again and move on, there are many Birds that
I've managed to nurse back to health and release back into the wild............

I’ll start by saying how overwhelmed we are to reach the just giving target of £1000 for LIVES thank you to all who have donated especially those that have never met us. Tomorrow is my finale at Uncle Henrys although I have achieved my goal of 700 miles today (by the way that is equivalent to walking from Lincoln to Milan) anyway the few miles I will be walking tomorrow will be a bonus just thought with the weather forecast it would be best out of the way don’t want to have to use Lives services again.

About us!

We not only work throughout Lincolnshire but further afield when asked, promoting our love of "Birds of Prey".

You will find us most week days and weekends during the Summer Season displaying our Birds and interacting with the Public at various venues.

Our aim is to help you to not only interact with the Birds but to get a better understanding of their nature, their history and how we work with them today.

We work regularly with many local companies throughout Lincolnshire including Lincoln Castle at their many open events. All of these dates can be found on our website. We offer an "Experience Package" together with Weddings and Speaker Events.
