This session is perfect for those who love owls and wish to learn more about these silent fliers. If you want to learn more about these amazing birds, the Owl Experience is for you! 


What to Expect

We start our session at our outdoor education station where you learn about the differences between owls and other birds of prey by looking at owl skeletons, feathers and how they fly, and break down pellets to see what the owl ate.

We then head to the flying field, where we start with a brief safety talk and show you how to call the bird to your glove. The owls are flown to and from the glove in our flying yard as we discuss the unique characteristics of owls that make them perfect silent ambush hunters!
