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.
