Hawklands Bird Of Prey Centre
Hawklands visitors will be spellbound by Sharon's birds and their spectacular flying displays which can be seen on most days. Children often get the opportunity to help with the displays and stroke some of the friendly hawks and owls.
The displays run twice a day, however there are NO displays on Mondays (except on Bank Holidays) - please phone to check availability.
Birds of prey with their sharp hooked beaks and talons are one of nature's ulimate predators. Most hunt for their prey over ground or in the air and some hunt in water. Others favour Carrion and scavenge, and some like the Caracara (who is supposed to be flightless) will simply take whatever they can come across!

Geese are known for being fierce, noisy and unfriendly. They make good guard dogs
A flock of geese saved the city of Rome in 390BC. Invaders crept into the city at night but the sleeping guards were woken by the loud honking of the geese
Geese mate for life and will stay together during all seasons and only find a new mate if one dies or is killed
