Such a fun morning!
Had such a wonderful morning meeting Quintessa the owl and her friends! It was so special getting up close and personal with the owls, and the falconer Natalie was so lovely, warm, and informative. Will be recommending to everyone

Great (grey) day out!
Had a brilliant afternoon with Ross and his amazing owls at Millets Farm Falconry centre. Ross made it really fascinating and being so close to these wonderful creatures was fantastic - we got to meet 4 very different owls, finishing off with Midnight, a Great Grey. I would thoroughly recommend this experience.

Well worth the money. A guided walk through the sanctuary which was so interesting and informative. Flew three different owls who were such gorgeous gentle birds. The staff were excellent and made us feel so welcome. Absolutely loved this and thoroughly recommend it.

Brilliant
I was bought this as a gift and had such an amazing day. The falconer knew so much about the birds and Bilbo, the long eared owl was my particular favourite.

Owl Encounter Millets Experience
Fantastic Owl Encounter Experience at Millets Falconry. Ella our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and provided us with a brilliant experience. We handled 4 different owl species and saw many more owls and other birds of prey. We were the only 2 people in the facility so felt very special. Highly recommended!

A brilliant day out
We had an Owl Experience for two people. Had a tour around the Owls and raptors first and then handled our first Owl. We were told all about the owls which was very interesting. Then we put on the leather glove and had three different owls flying between us. A really interesting day and fully recommended.

Such a wonderful birthday treat
My granddaughter bought me for my birthday a one hour Owl Experience for 2 people. A young man called Alex looked after us and bought owls 🦉 to us to hold. Close up so wonderful to see their feathers and their eyes. Alex is a fountain of knowledge. I don’t think I could have asked a question that he wouldn’t be able to answer . If Owls are your thing then go for it. You will not be disappointed

A lovely afternoon spent looking around the enclosure and the hour spent being guided around was extremely informative and we were lucky to have good weather. I would have liked more time allowed to take photos when flying the owls but had to ask as there was no interest shown by the guide to allow this.
