Full description
He who seeks a friend finds a. .. raptor!
With this 1-hour experience in the province of Bergamo, you can discover the world of falconry and take part in your first falconry baptism! An expert falconer will explain many curiosities about these specimens and allow you to observe them up close.
Prepare to be fascinated!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Sant'Omobono Terme (BG). Our guide will be waiting for us, who will welcome us at the farm and introduce us to the birds of prey that will accompany us on this experience.
The falconer will explain the biology of these specimens, how they hunt and what characterises them. We will also discover which of them are diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey. And after about 45 minutes of explanation, we will be ready to try holding our new friends on our arm.
We will put on the glove provided by the falconer and experience the thrill of holding a bird of prey on our fist, admiring it up close. We will also be able to take some souvenir photos if we wish!
It will be a time of deep sharing, during which you will discover all the fascination of barn owls, falcons and Harris's buzzards!
The activity will last a total of 1 hour.
