Description

Imagine the smile that spreads across a child’s face as a Barn Owl swoops to land perfectly on a gloved fist, the whoops of laughter as an Eagle Owl glides effortlessly across a line of children and all the while learning fascinating facts about wildlife. Feathers and Fur Falconry Centre offer all of this and more in our tailor made after school birthday parties with our beautiful owls and birds of prey.

Please DO NOT make a payment if you have not already confirmed a date with the Feathers and Fur Falconry Centre booking team, as we cannot guarantee your required date if you assume we have space, as a small company we fill up very quickly.  

To contact the booking team please email us at info@feathersandfur.co.uk

 

Whats involved?

After school children are usually hungry so we start off with your snacks and birthday cake from 4pm-4.30pm in our classroom. The room is heated in winter and has electricity if you wish to bring along some music.

Once finished the children then spend 1 hour learning, handling and meeting some of our amazing team. Birds used on the day will vary on age groups however we strive to ensure that the birthday person gets to meet their favourite member of our team!

We have a number of areas to use including a seated display arena, a large field and a classroom in case of poor weather or dark winter nights.  This 1 hour session includes a safety talk at the beginning and a time to wash hands once we finish.

The cost of the party also included 4 supervising adults. Any additional parents and siblings that want to stay and watch are charged at £5 per head. There are plenty of other shops to go and look around whilst the party takes place if parents want to remain on site at Moss End or if they are leaving the site we recommend you take note of their contact numbers in case of an emergency.

The minimum handling age for our birds is 6 years old and we are very strict on this. Please ensure that all children invited to the party are 6 years old and over.

Looking to arrange something a little longer during the school holidays or at the weekend? How about our Weekend and Holidays Birthday Parties or if you would like something smaller without food then have a look at our Family Falconry Experience. Please feel free to ask a member of our team about these option.

 

FAQ

How long does the party last? With both handling and food, Birthday parties last 1.5 hours.

What is the minimum age for a party? 6 years old is our minimum age for birthday parties, no one under this age at the time of the party will be able to handle the birds.

Do you provide food? No, we do not provide any of the food. A number of families have used the local pizza places in Bracknell to deliver pizza or have asked the cafe onsite Robyns Nest to provide a picnic. We can help source some contact details if you need help. We do have drinking water on site.

Can I put food in a fridge? Sorry but we currently only have a fridge for the bird’s food. (we wouldn’t want to serve the birds your sausage rolls and the kids a mouse or two!!)

Can I put up decorations? Yes, you can hang party banners, we do ask for no balloons though as these scare the birds. Decorations must only be hung with sticky tac, NOT cello tape or pins.

Do you have somewhere to plug my music? Yes, the classroom has electricity.

What if its raining or poor weather? If the weather is poor we use the classroom for the birthday party, it is large and heated.

Can other parents stay to watch? The overall cost includes 4 supervising adults along with the 8 children. Any additional parents and siblings that want to stay and watch are charged £5 per head.

We do however like to mention that parents are in charge of the children’s behaviour and any behaviour that may cause harm to the birds or disrupt the other children will result in that child being asked to sit out. If you are worried about managing the children alone then please ask a number of the parents to stay. The falconer’s job is not to manage the children but the birds.

What is the maximum number of children? Our charge of £135 is for 8 children but you can invite up to a max of 15 children. Each additional child added after the 8 is £10 per child.

Do you do party bags? Not yet but they are on their way!!

    The absolute best venue for a birthday party. My son loves birds of prey and Sadie captivated all 14 of the kids and us adults too with her knowledge about the birds they handled. It was pure magic and I keep getting positive feedback from all of the parents of the children that were there. I will probably be booking another one for my daughter soon as she was fascinated as well.

    Simply Amazing! Sadie is fabulous. My son had his 6th Birthday Party at Feathers and Fur today. 
14 children 6 and under were enthralled by the experience. They held a Small Owl, flew a Barn Owl and a Harris Hawk, and Theo got to hold an Eagle Owl. We all learned loads about the birds and Sadie was a wonderful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic host. 
I can’t praise it enough! 
Thank you Feathers and Fur. X

    My son Arthur and 7 of his friends absolutely loved their flying session today, The Birthday Boy Arthur had an amazing time and this was the best party I have organised so far (according to Arthur!). Very relaxed, Sadie was awesome with the children and birds all completely under her control. I will be back to do a photography session with some friends very soon and no doubt again with Arthur! Thank you so much.
