An Update from Manager Kylie
Please note that it has come to our attention that some people are getting us confused with other companies at the momnet. Falconry Scotland does not currently have a Crowd Funding or Go Fund Me page. We have been lucky enough to have received some Government funding to tide us over for now.
Gift Vouchers for our experiences are still available online. We have extended the valid period of vouchers from 6 months to 12 months.
Thank you for your continued support!
Continue to stay safe everyone!

( Strix leptogrammica ) Bailey is currently only 4 weeks old (Fri 20 May '16), so we are currently in the imprinting stage of his rearing, to which he is being handled gently by as many people as possible, as well as being fed numerous times throughout the day. Bailey. like our other new addition - Byron (see below), will be used as part of our flying team in experiences such as our Owl Encounter, Mixed Hour & Ultimate Experience - after some fun training time of course! We will be keeping you updated on Bailey's progress of both his growth and training here on our What's New page, so please do check back regularly for updates, including photos of his fast growth! Should you also be partaking in any of our experiences at our centre over the next few months, you will be lucky enough to see baby Bailey also! |

Byron is currently only 14 days old (Tue 12 Apr '16), so we are currently in the imprinting stage of his rearing, to which he is being handled gently by as many people as possible, as well as being fed numerous times throughout the day. Whilst he is at our centre, he is held in an imprint chamber of which has a heat lamp to keep him warm in the cold periods of the Scottish Spring! Byron will be used as part of our flying team in experiences such as our Owl Encounter, Mixed Hour & Ultimate Experience - after some fun training time of course! We will be keeping you updated on Byron's progress of both his growth and training here on our What's New page, so please do check back regularly for updates, including photos of his fast growth!

New Additions to our Flying Team in 2015!
Alfie is not the male we thought he was! "He's" far too big for a male, so "he's" definitely a female with a boys name... never mind! Alfie is currently chasing the lure on the training line (creance) too and will soon be ready to come off the creance soon! Alfie also likes to be heard and likes wiping his dirty beak after a feed on your jumper!
Dill is 14 weeks old and is still on the training line but is now catching the lure and doing very well. We put new bells on Dill the other day and he wasn't sure what to make of them lol! He also, being an imprint, much like Alfie, likes to make himself heard!
Marley is coming along very well with his training, now that he has decided what his weight needs to be! He is looking forward to starting his Wedding duties next year!! He is very vocal and likes to be heard - definitely an attention seeker; he loves people watching and has a very big shoe fetish!! And definitely a mummy's boy!!!
Peanut is just 12 weeks old but is already flying really well! He's not the easiest to take pictures of because he has an issue with cameras! Lol
Tucker is our new Buzzard as our other Common Buzzards are very old now! He is a very friendly individual and is flying very well. He has settled in well and we are sure he will become a valued member of our team!
