Raptor Foundation Animal rescue service in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire

"I have just completed the five-day course at the Raptor Foundation, and if anyone is thinking of getting into falconry, I would strongly suggest that this course is the bare minimum you should undertake. The centre is extremely well equipped for training, and I received plenty of hands-on experience, which is incredibly important when considering getting your first bird. The practical knowledge gained over the five days was invaluable. I cannot thank the staff enough for making it such an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Spending time at the centre also gives you a real insight into just how challenging it is to run a charity like this, and how much dedication and effort goes into the care of both their adopted and wild raptors. If anyone has negative thoughts or comments about the centre, I would encourage them to try to understand the reasons behind things before making any judgement. Thank you very much to Liz and all the staff."

"I had an amazing experience at The Raptor Foundation this week. It included meeting all the birds, taking part in flying them and lunch. I would highly recommend it if you want to get up close to these magnificent creatures. My guide for the day was very informative and clearly knew the birds well, which made it all the more interesting and personal. I had the best day😊"

"I had such a lovely visit to the Raptor Foundation! The owl and bird of prey displays were amazing to watch – really well presented and informative. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It was also cheaper than I expected for such a great day out. Highly recommend a visit!"
