Comes face to face with birds of prey & owls. You will independently fly birds of prey and owls to your falconry gauntlet.
Koninginnedag in the Netherlands is a very popular folk festival. The white town of Thorn in Limburg had the honor of hosting the royal family on April 30, 2011. The program was composed around the themes of culture, history, music and tradition.
Part of the festivities was falconry with the The Queen and members of the Royal Family went flying themselves with our birds of prey. The star of the day was "Kite," our 1-year-old Desert Hawk who didn't care about all the cameras and security but fearlessly flew from hand to hand.
If you would like to fly with our Royal birds of prey & owls just like Queen Maxima and Princess Beatrix, book the 1 hour raptor workshop Royal
Flying.

Fascinating and educational to hear about the different species of birds of prey, their habitats and habits and then to have this bird of prey on the gauntlet yourself, in one word: wonderful!

I was along as a viewer and it was mesmerizing how the birds flew through the air....ook fun humor was used and educational facts! (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

Sander and Esther are both clearly very concerned with the welfare of the birds and know a lot about it. The facts are told with a quip, and everyone gets a lot of attention. Much respect for the animals and their natural behavior (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

Started this workshop with some tension, but soon overcame it. This was due to ample explanation and calm approach of the falconers. Not intrusive. All in all a lot of information and a lot of practice with the birds. Lots of variety during the workshop. (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

After a long wait I could finally make one of my dreams come true: a falconry workshop. Thanks to Birds@Work - Falconry Riding School it was a great experience! We got a lot of explanation about falconry and had a lot of contact with the birds. All questions were answered with pleasure. (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

Well run workshop with friendly people who were really passionate about their work and the birds! They all told easily and enthusiastically about everything which was very informative. We also got to do a lot of things like learning the falconers knot, lure turning, holding the birds on the hand and flying them over and landing them on your hand! They took good care of sufficient drinks because of the warm weather and planned sufficient breaks. Great experience, Top!

The possibilities of having some birds on your arm is an experience we will carry with us forever. Good luck and have fun with other groups. To see these mighty birds at such close quarters, with sounds, is fantastic! Thank you for this experience! (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

In one word: amazing! What an incredibly cool experience. Memories for life. What beautiful animals we have seen and had in our hands. Falconer Sander brought the informative part in a funny way and we learned a lot of facts and details about the birds of prey. My sons, being spectators, also enjoyed being able to admire the birds of prey from so close up. Highly recommended! (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

It was a great experience to see and "hold" birds of prey up close. During the workshop you learn a lot about the different birds of prey and the guides explain and answer questions in a fun (and sometimes humorous) way. In short: highly recommended (via Klantenvertellen.nl)
, Mark
Under the enthusiastic and professional guidance of Esther and Sander we had a very nice workshop "Flying fast" birds of prey! Unlike the name suggests, there is plenty of time and you can hold different birds of prey on your hand and fly with them. Highly recommended! (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

This was the 2nd time I have participated in a workshop at the Birds of Prey Farm. What a fantastic experience it is. The staff is professional and extremely friendly. Each participant is given enough time to hold all the birds on their hands. From a small owl, to the great bald eagle and everything in between. At the end even storks. The workshop includes coffee, tea and soda as well as cookies, and at the end we even got an ice cream. This was my 2nd time but certainly not the last time I will participate in a workshop, this is truly an unforgettable experience. (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

We attended the Lazy Friday afternoon workshop. I as a viewer and my husband and son as participants. Reception was very friendly with cake and a drink followed by an introduction that was not only educational but also very funny. The atmosphere was good. The workshop was very varied, both in terms of activities with the birds and the number of species of birds. It was very relaxed and there was plenty of time for everything to be explained and of course to take pictures. We had a very nice and educational time. Thank you very much for that. (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

What a fantastic outing (Falconer Tasting) and what a wonderful gift to have given. Reception was great and soon we were explained with the opportunity to experience an owl up close. Throughout the afternoon we worked with birds of prey and owls, learned to tie knots, learn to lure and also various demonstrations. All the while explanations with high entertainment content! We had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend a workshop! (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

How beautiful these birds are. Sometimes I was so amazed watching the birds that I just didn't hear the explanations that were given. :-) The guides did a brilliant job of this. I will definitely do this again. Mother nature is so beautiful! (via Klantenvertellen.nl)

I had a great time and the staff was very enthusiastic and concerned about the animals. Nice!
, John
Fun experience but I thought the group was way too big. 26 people. Because of this I found it a bit of a program rattle. Can not be otherwise with such a large group I think. I had imagined it more personal. Was it now unfortunately not worth the cost projs. (via Klantenvertellen.nl)
