Falconry has sparked the imagination for centuries, and the Burren Birds of Prey Centre delivers an informative and exciting experience for anyone looking to spend time with these fascinating animals.
The Hawk Walk includes admission to the live bird exhibits, the Birds of Prey Flying Show, and a guided tour of Aillwee. But the star of the visit is the one-on-one interaction with a Harris Hawk, the only “social” raptor. Yes, the bird will launch from your gloved hand and return as if you’ve been a falconer for decades.
