Cotswold Falconry Centre

More than a flying visit!

We are CLOSED for our seasonal break.

 

The centre will reopen Saturday 15th February 2025. Experience Gift Vouchers are still available for purchase.

Bird Adoptions

banner adoptions

Many people who visit the centre express their wish to help with the upkeep of the birds. By adopting a certain bird of prey you can help with the feeding, housing and any veterinary fees for the following 12 months.

You can adopt most of the birds, a small list of some of the most popular birds can be found below. Adoptions can be made for yourself, clubs, businesses, family and friends. Why not give a special present to someone by adopting a bird for them?

After you have adopted the bird, your name will be displayed near to or on the aviary of that bird and an information card will be sent out.

Please be aware that your chosen bird may not be on view all year around.
