Meet Birds of Prey with an Expert Falconer near Vicenza

Discover the fascinating world of birds of prey during this immersive 2-hour experience at the falconry centre, nestled in the countryside near Vicenza.

Your experience begins with a warm welcome from an experienced falconer, who will introduce you to the world of hawks, falcons, owls, and other remarkable raptors. In a relaxed and friendly setting, you'll learn about their unique characteristics, natural behaviour, and the centuries-old relationship between birds of prey and humans.

As you move through the centre, you'll meet the resident birds up close and observe their features, personalities, and adaptations. Discover what makes each species unique, how they communicate, and how falconers build a relationship with these extraordinary animals through trust, patience, and respect.

The falconry centre follows a welfare-focused philosophy that puts the birds first. Rather than a traditional show, this experience is designed to offer meaningful encounters in a safe and respectful environment where visitors can learn, observe, and connect with the animals at their own pace.

The highlight of the experience is a hands-on encounter with a bird of prey. Under the expert guidance, you'll have the opportunity to wear a falconry glove and hold a falcon or other raptor on your fist, experiencing its beauty, presence, and surprising elegance from just a few centimetres away. There will also be time for photos and questions throughout the session.

Perfect for adults, families, nature lovers and photographers, this small-group experience combines wildlife, education, and authentic interaction to create a memorable introduction to the fascinating world of birds of prey.
