Designed specifically for younger families, the Family Birds of Prey Experience at Invereck House is a relaxed and engaging 1.5-hour session that introduces children and their families to the fascinating world of birds of prey in a fun, educational, and accessible way.
This experience has been carefully tailored for children aged up to 12 years old, providing enough information to inspire curiosity and learning without overwhelming younger participants. As such, the session is not designed for children over the age of 12, who may be better suited to one of our more immersive falconry experiences.
During the session, families will meet a selection of our raptor team, with each bird helping to tell a different story about life in the natural world. Guests will learn how birds of prey hunt, how they have adapted to survive in different environments, and why many species remain important ambassadors for conservation and education today.
The experience includes a variety of flying demonstrations and opportunities to see the birds up close, allowing children and adults alike to appreciate their beauty, intelligence, and unique personalities. Our experienced falconers will ensure that the session remains interactive, engaging, and suitable for younger audiences.
Photographic opportunities will be available throughout the experience, creating lasting memories for the whole family. Children aged 8 years and over will have the opportunity to hold selected birds for photographs. For safety and welfare reasons, children under the age of 8 are welcome to participate fully in the experience but will not be permitted to handle the birds.
The Family Birds of Prey Experience is designed to be enjoyable, informative, and memorable for young families, offering a wonderful introduction to the world of falconry within the beautiful surroundings of Invereck House.
Participants should wear suitable outdoor clothing and comfortable footwear appropriate for the Scottish weather and time spent within the estate grounds.

So unique and such a privilege to get up close to these amazing birds. You get to learn so much about them and see them showing how they like to operate and showing lots of their unique personalities. It’s a fabulous way to ignite your passion for wildlife, nature and conservation. We learnt so much, and no questions felt like silly questions. This was just such an enjoyable morning. Lewis was really easy to get along with and very accommodating. This will become a very cherished memory and shared experience that I enjoyed with my son and I hope will help seal his lifetime commitment and respect for our environment.Posted on Tripadvisor Tracy SVerified Solo Surprise Experience I had the pleasure of having a solo experience with Lewis and his magnificent white tailed eagle on what was deemed the 'perfect day' the sun was shining and the wind was perfect. I was able to witness the magnificent bird in its natural environment with a young red kite, playing naturally. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience here in Penderyn on the exquisite Foel!Posted on Tripadvisor Sandra SVerified Extraordinary one off experience in beautiful countryside This has got the WOW factor!! Fantastic experience getting up close and hands on with some spectacular birds in breathtaking natural surroundings. Lewis was very knowledgeable and passionate about the conservation of these animals and it truly shines through in his handling of them. He made us feel so relaxed around the birds and made the day totally magical and memorable. We had lots of opportunities to take photos and flying to the glove was incredible. Lewis is a really great guy and we highly recommend him. We could not have had a better day. Thank you.Posted on Tripadvisor Robert SVerified So grateful & taken aback! Meeting Lewis today proved to be a second to none experience. I’ve never quite understood the sheer scale and beauty of the birds Lewis provided display to today! His knowledge is second to none, and he meticulously demonstrated his passion and understanding of these gentle creatures to which I will remember this experience for a lifetime. Lewis- simply put- extraordinarily brilliant!Posted on Tripadvisor Margaret Yvonne GVerified A retirement experience we will never forget. From start to finish it was an amazing experience. Lewis was so helpful ,from the very 1st phone conversation he made the booking & payment so easy as i booked this for my husband and wasnt quite sure how things worked he went above and beyond for my husband and his friend something they always wanted to do and what better time than their retirement treat , Lewis even helped to book a meal for them after the wonderful time and experience with those stunning Birds of prey thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend you visit Lewis and his magnificent Birds of prey .Posted on Tripadvisor Kevin DVerified Take a breath and prepare to be in ‘awe. Watching and interacting with the Birds offlying over the Welsh mountains Amazing experience with wings of Wales. Lewis is so knowledgeable and ensures you are involved and taken care of. Wow ..Posted on Tripadvisor Christie JVerified If you truly value wildlife, this is the bird of prey experience for you What an experience! Lewis has put a lot of work into getting the birds displaying their natural behaviours, taking us to different habitats across the display land tailored to each species. What ensued were stunning close ups of a saker falcon, black chested buzzard eagle, gymnogene, scandinavian dark breasted barn owl and harris hawk. Seeing the birds interacting with the land, us, surrounding wild life....in a way that as closely as possible mimics their natural behaviours. Breathtaking. Book this experience, wear walking boots, and listen to Lewis. Conservation expert, knowledgeable as hell, and a good laugh too.Posted on Tripadvisor Nick WVerified Fantastic experience, highly recommended Had a half day experience for two. It was a fantastic day and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Lewis was very knowledgeable and informative. The day was as educational as it was entertaining. The birds were well kept and Lewis is clearly cares for them greatly. Each bird was unique and interesting in its own right. It was fascinating to learn about them, and of course fly/feed them! Would highly recommend!
