Had the most amazing day for my daughters 13th birthday she thoroughly enjoyed her family experience with the birds 🥰 Can’t thank Lisa enough for how good she was with the children and also how caring she is with her birds!

We had a wonderful family experience with Lisa and Steve. Both were incredibly knowledgeable and we got to meet a variety of birds. It was too windy to fly the birds outside but this gave us the opportunity to spend lots of time up close with the birds - a real treat! Thank you Lisa and Steve!

We came as a family for a private flying experience and had the best time. The boys were excitable but really well supported to take part safely with warmth and kindness. The birds were incredible and we just had the most lovely day (despite a furious Kookaburra not wanting to play ball). Couldn't recommend highly enough. Will definitely come again some time. Thank you for your knowledge and for welcoming us. ❤️

Myself with family visited for the first time today. The owner was there and happy to talk to us about the centre and the birds that live there. The whole time we were there, she was busy caring for the birds, including a four week old kookaburra, that she is currently hand rearing. The centre is only small, so an hour was sufficient time for our visit. The experience was informative and the birds all seemed happy and well cared for. We will definitely return again.

When we first got there, the owner was friendly and helpful. You can pay cash or by card before entering. We were left to walk around on our own and enjoy the birds in their glory. All birds were visible and looked happy in their home. A lot of work going on to ensure the birds homes are reflected to their needs and an endless task for the owner and such a challenging yet satisfying task. Thank you for doing such a great job and allowing us the public to see these beautiful birds.
