Home Educated Bird of Prey & Animal Workshops – November 27th, December 4th & 11th 9.30 – 11.30
Over the three weeks we will be running some home educated workshops with our birds of prey and animals. These workshops are designed to give children the opportunity to get hands on experience as well as learning.
November 27th – 9.30 – 11.30 – Fur & Scales
At the farm we house quite a few different smaller animals. Pupils will have the opportunity to meet and handle some of these including our rabbits, guinea pigs, skunk, dumbo rats and chinchillas. Pupils will clean, feed and water and learn about how we look after these animals. Pupils will then go on to meet some more of our unusual animals including snakes, reptiles and creepy crawlies. Learn how we keep them, what food they eat, temperature control and substrates used.
December 4th – 9.30 – 11.30 – Owls
Pupils will have the opportunity to meet, handle and fly many different species of owls, these will include the Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, European Eagle Owl, Scops Owl and more. Children will learn all about the owls: how far can they turn their heads, silent flight and hunting techniques.
December 11th – 9.30 -11.30 – Birds of Prey
Pupils will have the opportunity to meet and handle some different species of birds including a hawk, eagle and falcon. Pupils will learn the difference between the species; hunting techniques, adaptations, wing shape and conservation. From here pupils will have the opportunity to fly a species of owl and Kestrel and then head out on into the surrounding fields for a walk with our hawks. (Please be aware that while out with the hawks parents are unable to accompany the children)
£9.50 per child, one free adult with each paying child. Additional adults are £5.00 per person (additional adults pay on arrival).
We advise children wear clothing they don’t mind getting dirty and wellies if they have them
