Full description
You know Snow White, who summons all the birds of the wood?
Well, that's the princely version of our anthrozoopologist falconer guide! She will be the one to open the doors of her aviary in the province of Vicenza to you and introduce you to her birds of prey: you will learn how to get to know them, feed them and let them fly on your fist thanks to in-depth explanations.
Anexclusive 2-hourexperience together with his'flying company'!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you at the selected time at the meeting point in Ponte di Barbarano (VI). To welcome you there will be me, your falconer, as well as all my affectionate birds of prey!
After an initial briefing during which I will provide you with all the information you need to enjoy this carefree experience, it will be time to meet the birds of prey. These can be found outside the aviaries and can be seen, photographed and approached.
The'flying company' consists of 2 American kestrel falcons, 2 buzzards, 1 American red-necked urubu vulture, 1 Indian eagle owl, 1 scops owl, 1 lodger and 1 barn owl. You will have the pleasure of meeting Frey, who at 15 years of age holds the title of oldest buzzard in the group, Shakti, a eagle owl named after an Indian goddess, and other sky explorers.
You can watch a small flying exhibition before approaching the birds of prey to feed them and hold them on your fist (usually 2 birds). As a falconer and anthrozoologist, I will provide in-depth explanations on the ethology and curiosities of these fascinating animals.
The experience will last a total of 2 hours.
