Introduction to Owl Handling for Two
About this experience
Head to Eagle Heights in Kent for a magnificent experience with some of the worlds most intriguing and majestic birds.
Perhaps you’ll meet an eagle owl or a tawny owl… either way you will be sure to see them fly high above you and witness their speed and grace.
An experienced owl handler will guide you in your handling of the birds and you will receive hands-on experience during your visit. Once you are done with the birds why not take a look around the rest of the park and say hello to a few snakes or mammals? There’s plenty to see and you should definitely take your camera.

“Brilliant, interesting day out”
I would definitely recommend Eagle Heights as a fascinating outing where you come away having learnt a lot. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and Sophie, the bird handler, was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. They are doing a magnificent job of conservation and they fully deserve all the support they can get. We will definitely return!

What happens on the day?
On arrival you will join a small group of other owl lovers to be welcomed by the keeper. You will then be given an introduction to the owls; you will meet a few of them and learn a little bit about their life and their habitat in the wild.
After some basic handling instruction, it is time to experience the excitement first hand as you fly them loose and have them return to your gloved fist. There will be plenty of opportunities for photographs so don’t forget your camera.

“Owl Flying”
Eagle Heights were very accommodating and the handler was very knowledgeable with lots of interesting facts and stories. A good experience if you like owls. Good value for money.
“an introduction to owl handling”
Owl handling was excellent as was the whole experience, birds of prey show was also very good, only down side was the sign for eagle heights should have a direction arrow and the entrance to the site from the car park needs to be improved to make it more inviting
