Family-Friendly Falconry Tour with Mayfields Birds of Prey
The family-friendly falconry tour with Mayfields Birds of Prey is a great way for families to get up close and personal with birds of prey. This experience is perfect for children who are not yet old enough to fly! The Waterford Greenway provides the perfect backdrop, as you handle, fly and see these amazing creatures in their natural habitat.
Come visit us and get to see various types of hawks and owls from native Irish species to international birds of prey.
Whilst you enjoy and admire their flying skills in the displays, we intend for you to not only have gained an insight into their behaviours, but also take away an even greater appreciation of these amazing birds and a better understanding of their conservation needs.
For those that wish to take a step into the world of Falconry, we can offer you an insight into procedures, equipment, and training skills we use with our birds. There are plenty of opportunities for children to take part in the more hands on demonstrations.
A family day out with us can be easily combined with a cycle on the Greenway, lunch at the Coach house, a tour of the workhouses or an over night stay at the glamping all within walking distance.
