Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre

A visit to Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre is inspiring and uplifting. The Centre is home to around 100 birds and 50 different species. We have three spectacular flying demonstrations daily, where over 30 of our impressive birds fly around the centre and some even venture out over our beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Each of the flying display takes place in our arena with a different team of birds for each display so it really is worth planning your day and staying around to see all 3 displays to maximise your visit at the centre. You can also expect to get very close to our birds as they swoop over your head whilst our passionate and knowledgeable display team provide light-hearted and informative commentaries.

If you share our passion for birds of prey and would like to get much closer and learn more about them, we offer experience days for small groups or even one to one for the ultimate personal encounter. This is a great chance to fly and learn alot about a variety of our birds and also learn more about our conservation work with vulture and other species.

We have a selection of experiences to choose from where you can meet a greater variety of our birds, or a more specialised selection of owls, vultures or eagles, just click on the Experience days tab, above, for more details.
