Birds of Prey - School Visits - Silverband Falconry Cumbria UK


Richard's Passion for Birds came from a Primary School Teacher and that passion and enthusiasm comes across when we present the birds in schools.

Our "Bird of Prey Awareness and Conservation Package"has been seen in over 400 schools across the North of England and Southern Scotland and we visit many of these schools on an annual or bi-annual basis.

The Smallest School we visit has around 15 pupils and we visit every year they get so much out of it.


An Art Session With
Dumbledore the White Faced Owl



Zeus the Raven.
A Bit of a Scoundrel Who Entertained
Thousands of Children in Schools.


Every School will get
  • A Flying Display for the whole School at the end of
    the day.
  • An interactive Talk
  • Handling Sessions
  • Question and Answer Times.
  • A Realistic View of Animals and Food Chains


As options we can provide

  • Art sessions designed to be unique to us.
  • Worksheet packages for all primary year groups.
  • Mediaeval Clothing for curriculum based history.
  • Organised debates on the various topics
    surrounding the keeping and working of animals.
  All of our talks are aimed to suit the particular year or age
group and our Falconers are flexible enough to cover any
related topic you require. They have been known to do
that at a moments notice, talks can also be on a cross
curricular basis,such is their knowledge.

Question and Answer times can make teachers quake
with fear praying that so and so doesn't decide to ask
some obscure question about hair dressing or the latest
toy. Our Falconers have heard it all before, and are
trained to use that question to steer the conversation
back onto the subject.

Which one is for lunch

We travel to schools with the Birds so contact us to organise a visit to your school. Now there is no need to worry about the extras such as Buses and Little Johnny forgetting his packed lunch.

Kev shows off Burdock's Wings

This allows

  • The rest of the school to see the Birds and not
    just hear about them.
  • Us to show how the Birds survive in the wild and
    the various hunting strategies involved.
  • The Children to see how the birds eat and what
    they eat.
  • Us to wind the Kids up into a frenzy just before
    you let them go out to meet their parents at
    home time.
