 Verified A wonderful half day!!
A truly wonderful experience. Gary was very friendly and passionate about his birds. We got to meet them all and flew owls, hawks, eagles and even a vulture called Gollum. The birds are very well cared for, I would recommend this to anyone who admires birds of prey. Thanks Gary!!

 Verified Fantastic experience !
Fantastic experience ! Gary is so passionate about his birds and is a very good "teacher" as well. My mum was so happy having the birds so close on her arm. I highly recommend this experience if you are interested by birds and owls.

 Verified Incredible day, 100% recommend for any bird lovers
We had an utterly brilliant day here and didn’t want the experience to end. Gary is absolutely wonderful, you can tell he truly cares and loves his birds. The experience is like no other for any bird lover as getting to fly and feed the birds is just amazing. The care and attention you get during the experience is brilliant too as we felt so welcome. This was a surprise gift for myself from my boyfriend, and it was wonderful. 100% recommend.

 Verified Wonderful experience
What a great time we had on our couples experience. Gary was absolutely lovely and told us so many fascinating facts about his wonderful birds. Each of the birds have their own little character which made them so much fun and it was a brilliant experience being able to fly them. The time went too quickly so we'll definitely be back for another turn. Cannot recommend enough, book your experience, you won't be disappointed

 Verified Amazing hour long experience, just book it 👍🏻
Purchased an hour couples experience with Cumbria Bird of Prey Centre, well worth the money for a fantastic hands on hour experience. Very relaxed environment and Gary is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his flock. We loved every second and being honest, wished we’d booked a longer experience tbh. 5 out of 5 from us, would highly recommend and may actually book again for family in the future 👍🏻

 Verified Fantastic time
Just wanted to say how great we found this experience, Gary is a very engaging and likeable individual who is very knowledgeable about his birds. It was a real pleasure to go for a walk in the woods joined by Buzz the hawk and to have close contact with several other amazing birds such as owls Hootie and Esther. We will be highly recommending this experience to friends and would advise anyone visiting the Carlisle area to go along for a visit. A+ experience and A+ host

 Verified Fantastic Experience
What a fantastic hour with Gary and his “flock”! Gary was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and funny. The hands-on feeding session was both educational and entertaining. A wonderful experience I’d recommend to everyone. Thank you!

 Verified A great afternoon!
We visited yesterday to celebrate a family birthday. Gary and Keith were very friendly and welcoming. We all had such a great time. Gary was informative but at the same time made it interesting, we learned so much! Our boys loved the fact that it was so interactive and they could also take part in holding the birds. A great experience and we would definitely recommend!

 Verified Fun, informative and educational
Myself and my son have just enjoyed a wonderful family experience at The Cumberland bird of prey centre. We thoroughly enjoyed this session and found it to be fun, informative and educational. All of the birds are very well looked after with clean enclosures, you can tell that the people who run the bird of prey centre are very passionate about their jobs. We would highly recommend!!
