Amazing experience!
The experience was brilliant, me and my partner were able to hold and fly a variety of birds including a harris hawk. Our instructor Kane also gave us loads of interesting information about each of the birds, and made sure we got the most possible out of the experience. We also stayed at the falconry for a while afterwards, watched the flying demonstration which is at 1pm each day, then took a look round. Highly recommended!

Amazing!
The guide was great - he was friendly and chatty and had fantastic knowledge of the birds. We got to fly a few different types of bird including a barn owl and a cute kestrel called Gill. Fantastic experience - would highly recommend.

Great experience
We had such a great time at Millets Falconry. Our Falconry guide, Ben, made the experience super interesting and the time we got to spend with the birds was brilliant! On site you get the options of walking around and viewing the amazing range of birds of prey they have, all well taken care of and breathe taking to see ! We will be back for more !

Fabulous Visit
We had a fantastic few hours at Millets Farm Falconry Centre. My son and I were lucky enough to spend some time learning about the birds before we moved on to handling and flying some of them. Ben, our Falconer for the experience, was obviously passionate about the birds and their welfare. He is very knowledgeable and his love for the birds is contagious. We were treated to meeting some truly amazing birds and it felt like such a privilege to be around them. We’ll definitely be back

Fantastic
Fantastic and enjoyable experience, which was well organised. We were guided by Ella who was really friendly and knowledgable and happy to answer all of our questions, a real asset to their team. The birds were amazing and we really enjoyed our interaction with them. The highlight for me was being able to hold and feed one of their Red Kites, as they are my favourite UK birds of prey.

Something different, something special
We had one hour with a falconry expert which included holding the birds, learning about them and experiencing them fly around us and land on our arms to collect food. We handled various different birds and the information we received was really interesting. Out tickets covered general entrance as well as the experience, so once it was over we had time to look around and watch a flying display. Altogether a great day out at Millet's Falconry.

Millets Falcory
There are many different Falcons , owls and other endangered birds to see as well as the,oOo close up experience of the selected falcons that were shown to us and flew to our hands. If Millets was nearer we would certainly go again ,

Falconry Experience at Millets Falconry.
A visit to the centre, as a given present, proved very pleasant. The centre itself, plus all the other facilities nearby, was easily accessible, tidy and well looked after, as also appeared to be the case re. the falconry centre's residents. The staff were very helpful, personable and obviously very interested in their work and proud of the results they were gaining. The flying display seen was enjoyed by all present and our own one-to-one experience proved both enjoyable and educational.

Really fab experience
Really enjoyed the experience, all staff very nice and very knowledgeable. Experience seemed short but handled 4 different types of birds and free entry means we got to see the flying show as well so well worth the money.

Amazing day with Falconry team
We attended a 1 hr falconry experience at Millets Falconry near Oxford. Booking took a while but was ok. The actual session was amazing. Alex the from the Falcon centre was full of enthusiasm and obviously loved his job - and who wouldn't? We watched him perform a demonstration flight of 3 birds to the audience and then we had our 1 hour plus session where we held a range of hawks and owls on gloved hands before actually free flying them between us in the flying arena - which I never expected!

Fun experience
We were hosted by Russ and it was a great hour. Russ took us round all the bird enclosures and a couple of them were allowed to perch on our hands (Russ supplied a very useful falconers glove for us to use) while we were briefed about each of them, it was very interesting. For the last part of the experience Russ flew 2 birds between us and we got a chance to interact really closely with them, it was good fun.

What a fabulous experience
From the moment we arrived we were enthralled with the knowledge and enthusiasm shown to us. It is clear that these people are passionate about all the birds and animals at the centre. My highlight was being able to hold the birds of prey and also to feed and experience a kestrel landing on my hand. Afterward we sat and watched the flying display with some of the birds - great experience- went to quick! Thanks to all for a wonderful day.

A one hour experience and the time just Flew past
A magical experience being up close to some amazing birds. The falconers are passionate about their birds and very knowledgeable so we learned a lot and flew 3 different birds which was very exciting. We would thoroughly recommend this experience to all nature lovers.

Falconry
Really enjoyed the handling - 2 birds just on the hand, 2 birds flying person to person - but felt there was too much talking and not enough of the hands-on experience. I wanted to have much more time with the birds in action. Overall good but hoped for a bit more.
