What we will do
The activity takes place in Norcia, in the province of Perugia. On arrival, we will be welcomed by the falconer and together with him we will visit the birds of prey centre, admiring specimens of diurnal and nocturnal species. We will discover all the characteristics and differences between these fascinating birds.
The guide will tell us about the history of falconry, the techniques used, the care and feeding of birds of prey. We will then move to the outdoor area and learn the fist call technique.
