We had such a great time at our raptor experience today. We were first welcomed by Chief, the friendliest dog, and we weren’t even out of our car yet. We were then greeted by Kathleen, our raptor expert. Kathleen had snacks and drinks set out for us. She was so welcoming and so very informative. We learned so much and we got to hold an owl, a falcon, and a hawk. We got up close and personal with Louise, an Eurasian Eagle Owl, Sabey, a Saker Falcon, and Zulu, a Harris’ Hawk. This was a bucket list dream for me, so it was especially meaningful. To be up close to such amazing creatures is mind blowing. Thank you so much for allowing my husband and me the opportunity to learn about and be near your raptors. Everybody who is considering doing this experience, please do it! You won’t regret it!!!

We traveled 100 miles to Reno for this experience and it was worth it! The birds were AMAZING (have you ever looked an owl in its beautiful eyes or a had a hawk land on your hand from a swooping dive?!). The instructor was both knowledgeable and elegant. We LOVED this experience and highly recommend it ♥️

It was an incredible learning experience and well worth the trip! Kathleen made us feel comfortable and safe while handling the birds of prey!

Kathleen's raptor and falconry experience is incredible! Kathleen and her husband James are so friendly, knowledgeable, and professional; we learned so much! This was truly an unforgettable excursion. It was so amazing to learn about her majestic birds as they sat, perched on our arms. Don't hesitate to book this hawk walk; it is a supremely special and a once in a lifetime kind of experience.

Raptors have always fascinated me, and I've long wondered what it would be like to have one on my hand, and to experience one of these impressive birds fly from and alight on my glove. Got to do all of that AND to learn how challenging it can be to obtain a permit to care for these birds, and what it takes for them to be healthy and content. Totally worth it!

Catie_F

Wow! What an experience! I highly recommend this experience to anyone. Around 30 minutes from downtown Reno. I learned so much and was able to get up close with 4 different raptors.

Robert S

The birds are amazing. The experience was definitely different and I did recommend it for couples, families or a group of friends. Kathleen is awesome. Learned a lot from her. I would definitely go back.
