When we went due to bird flu restrictions they where not flying and also they where building a new area for them to do fly shows. Having spoke to owner not sure when this was but if you ring them the owner was brilliant and would give you a true picture
It has come to my notice that every now and again some people complain about these wonderful birds of prey being tethered to their perches. Do they honestly expect to see Eagles, buzzards and Hawks flying around and not disappearing into the distance? It also astonishes me that the centre is currently sitting at 91% on Tripadvisor, so are the other 91% of people wrong in their views? Perhaps someone can get back to me with an answer?

Their enclosures are spotless and the birds are clearly all in excellent health. People who complain clearly have no idea about actual bird behavior and do expect the birds to be simply flying free - not at all sure how that would work. The birds are on short tethers when outside on their perches. You can also purchase bird experiences to actually go hunting with the birds - so clearly they are not simply tied up for their entire lives. The smaller birds have no problems in getting lots of flight time - should they want it - in their enclosures. I'm quite sure that the people who complain about the short tethers are the same ones who would complain if the birds were in such large enclosures that they couldn't easily be seen...

Hi Linda, Throughout the year there are a number of organised bird watching activities. If you contact Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, I am sure they will give you a list of planned activities. Within the Bird of Prey Centre, our wildlife station receives wild birds every day. Over 24 species of wild birds can be seen on the feeders and in the surrounding area. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me through the contact page on the website for Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre. Regards, Stewart Robertson, Director.
