The Falconry Centre
The Falconry Centre, located in Hagley, stands as one of the foremost facilities in the West Midlands, offering an exceptional collection of flying birds of prey. Home to over 80 birds from around the world, the centre showcases a diverse range of species, including owls, hawks, falcons, eagles, vultures, and caracaras. With up to 30 different species on display, visitors can experience a captivating array of native and international birds in an environment designed to both educate and inspire.
Visitors to the Falconry Centre can enjoy a hands-on experience through the Bird Handling Experiences, allowing them to interact closely with these incredible creatures. This unique opportunity provides a deeper understanding of the birds’ capabilities and the thrill of handling them in flight. In addition to its public displays, the Falconry Centre plays a crucial role in wildlife conservation, particularly through its rehabilitation efforts. The centre cares for sick and injured birds of prey brought in by the public, veterinarians, and rescue organisations, with the ultimate goal of nursing them back to health and releasing them into the wild. Through this dedicated work, the Falconry Centre contributes significantly to the preservation of these majestic birds.
