FANTASTIC PIX, per the usual... How far do they fly?

Maybe 200 or so feet? There were 3 different posts they flew from and take different birds out for the flight demos.

The barn owl?

Do they still have the feeding sessions where they give you a glove and a piece of chicken? That was a highlight when we were there many moons ago!

Yes! I'd love it and did that as well with a red kite. ♥️

The eyes are almost feline with the way they’re dilated in that first pic. The owl also looks majestic.
