New Quay Birds Of Prey

Sorry folks but due to Covid-19 we are not currently able to offer any of our experiences. We cater for individuals as well as groups.
(47)

New Quay Birds of Prey is a small family run business offering people the opportunity to have a one to one private and personal encounter with one or more of our birds of prey. We bring the birds to you, or your venue, and we try to make the experience as special as we can. We display one bird at a time, giving the audience ample time to see them at close quarter, ask questions and take photograph

s. We deliver what we hope is a informative and fact filled talk on each bird, not only covering information about their specific species but also some history and anecdotes about our own birds and our experiences with them. You may even get to hold one yourself ! Our focus is always on education, raising awareness and making these amazing birds accessible. We do not indulge in sensationalism or showmanship during any of our activities. We sometimes fly our birds for the public if the location, time and occasion lends itself to us doing this safely. The welfare of our birds is always paramount and for this reason we do not encourage excessive handling or stroking by the general public, their feathers are very delicate and so are their nerves and tempers ! Most of our birds do not mind gentle contact however, but some do, so we have to regulate this activity carefully. Our birds, in the main, are very steady and patient but they do not react well to lots of sporadic noise, camera flashes at close quarters or rapid/direct approaches so we respectfully ask participants at any event to consider the birds whilst they are out on display.

Baby Barn Owls - Fudge and Fidget

29th April 2017. Baby Barn Owls Fudge and Fidget at play time. Fidget is giving her favourite toy a bit of grief while the much older (5 Days), and far more mature big brother tries his best to ignore her :) :)

Long Eared Owl - Cleo

6th May 2017. Cleo, our Cute Long Eared Owl. This is Cleo's first day out in her new aviary, she is only 45 days old but already flying quite competently. We only put her in there for a few hour at a time to begin with so that she could gradually get used to her new territory, not to mention all the comings and goings, dogs, quad, lawnmower, ponies, goats etc :) She was back into the security of her familiar territory - the Summer house, the rest of the time.

Baby Barn Owls - Fudge and Fidget

27th April 2017. This is the day we collected Fudge and Fidget our two beautiful Barn Owls. Fudge,the larger of the two is 28 days old here and Fidget who is being fed is is just 24 days old. They cannot stand at this stage, they sit on their bottoms and shuffle along on their elbows.
