What Can I Expect

Owl Experiences in Hertfordshire - meet the prolific hunters with their super-sensitive hearing who are masters of silent flight on these wonderful encounters!

The owls live in the heart of the Rib Valley, situated between Welwyn and Harlow, looked after by Charlotte and her father John. During your two-hours on site you'll discover that owls come in all different shapes and sizes.

Ouzo the Siberian Eagle Owl is a bit of a hunting supremo. James the Barn Owl has a gorgeous heart-shaped face. Then there's Earl the brilliantly named Great Grey Owl and Saki the Brown Asian Wood Owl, who has been hand-reared from the age of two weeks.

Owls are truly fascinating. All of them have those mesmerising eyes and can deftly turn their heads 270 degrees, giving them near enough all round vision. All the better for keeping an eye on their prey. They are carnivorous and some are even cannibals. Most are nocturnal and many have incredible hearing, allowing them to detect a mouse scurry away from a serious distance.

As well as meeting and hearing all about the history of owls, how they are trained (which, by their very nature, isn't easy!) and how they hunt, you'll also have plenty of handling time too.

There's something quietly exhilarating about the first time you pull on one of the falconer's gloves for an owl to perch delicately on your hand. You get a serious close up of those ferocious claws, get to look into those big, big eyes and see the stunning tones and patterns in their feathers.

These owls, whilst remaining the wild birds that they are, are calm and relaxed in the company of humans. And some love nothing more than having a bit of a squawk whilst posing for a selfie with you! Book your owl experience near Ware in Hertfordshire now.
