We visited The Raptor Centre because we were exploring the island as we travelled up north. This is a very small place with a few cage enclosures, a demonstration area and a rehabilitation space tha…Full review by jdglek

After three wildlife tours we found out about this place and wanted to try it out. The Raptors is in between a zoo and a wildlife tour. Almost all the birds were raised by humans. But they are wild a…Full review by Frank K

Unfortunately it was raining but we still enjoyed it. Robyn was a great and knowledgeable demonstrator. We all enjoyed the closer experience. I didn’t give it five star because it is quite pricey. Th…Full review by C W
Hi Raptors, I am 66 years of age and retired on 20 acres in the Cedar area. I would like to know if you guys give lessons on how to raise and handle birds of prey? I have no experience except for nursing an eagle back to health when I lived in Africa many years ago. Is your facility open this time of year? Many thanks Martin.

Hi Martin, We do offer a week-long falconry course for those who are interested in getting in to private falconry (or for those who just really enjoy working with birds!) These run twice a year. Don't hesitate to contact us for more information! ( info@the-raptors . com ). We are currently closed for January/February, but will re-open March 11th.
What else is there to do after you have seen the 1 o'clock show? The reason I am asking is because I will have 20 children with me.

What varieties of owls are at Pacific Northwest Raptors. Need to make two choices between the hawk, owl and raptor encounters for our visit in May. Thanking you in advance for any assistance.

There are several species of owls. There are barn owls, great grey owls, horned owls and a few others I cannot remember. Ask if you can meet Elton, the Spectacled Owl. He's a charmer. My suggestion is to do the morning experience regardless of the bird type. By the afternoon a lot of people people show up for the flying show and subsequently stay for the owl prowl, so there's not as much hands on exposure in the afternoon. My husband and I spent whole day. We shared the hawk walk with 6 people and one trainer in the morning and we all had frequent turns to "fly" the bird.. The owl prowl had at least 13 people and 2 trainers. The hawks hunt by sight so they're a bit more focused and easily come to food in your hand. The owls are auditory hunters so they're easily distracted by all the people and heart beats they hear. We found it took a bit more coaxing for the owl to fly back to the glove. Remember to ask one of the trainers how to make the Kookaburra's laugh ... they are both adorable and hilarious. Have fun, we did.
