Home Education Bird of Prey & Animal Workshops – February 6th, 13th, 27th & March 6th 9.30-11.30Over the four weeks we will be running some home educated workshops with our birds of prey and animals. Under the guidance of our experienced falconers and animal keepers these workshops are designed to give children the opportunity to get hands on experience as well as learning.
February 6th– British Birds of Prey: The farm is home to quite a few of our native species including the Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Long Eared Owl, Little Owl, Kestrel, Goshawk, Red Kite and Golden Eagle. Under the guidance of our falconer students will have the opportunity to hold and fly some of these species. Learn about our native species; conservation status, habitat and adaptations.
February 13th – Farm Animals: We house quite a few different breeds of farm animals, during this session students will meet different species including goats, sheep, alpacas, pigs and donkeys. Students will learn how we look after them and feed them. This will be followed by going on a goat walk around the surrounding fields of the farm.
