My fathers day treat, going to see these splendid birds in display. The big eagle is a Stellar Sea Eagle, the owl is Verraux(sp?) Eagle Owl, Bald Eagle and a Vulture (cool and mischievous)

big birdies mate, very cool

[Andy Collins]

The Stellar is the best, talons will crush a seals skull:001_cool: yet it can land to the gauntlet as light as a feather with a 7foot wingspan. Only 6 of these birds in captivity. The bald Eagle was a rescue egg, when a forest fire threatened the nest area. The vulture is only 6 months old and is still being trained, and gets a bit mischievous, disobeying instruction and doing its own thing. The display was limited for space, but they fly at Warwick Castle, and you can book to go and participate with the birds. Check out Pirds of prey - Hawk Experience offers the ultimate in Birds of Prey handling experiences. I'm gonna book up sometime and go for this.
