Falconer for a day outside Piacenza

Discover the ancient art of Falconry: an exciting experience in the midst of nature that allows you to interact with a majestic bird of prey.

The falconry class is a perfect adventure to get close to the world of falcons and other birds of prey, where you can learn the secrets of an ancient art and become, for a day, real falconers.

This experience is suitable for everyone: ideal for enthusiasts, families, team building or those looking for an out-of-the-ordinary activity. When booking you can choose between the option suitable only for adults and the experience for younger children.

For adults

This experience will allow you to be in direct contact with majestic raptors: you can hold a hawk, owl or buzzard on your fist.

You will experience an interactive and engaging adventure: you will actively participate in the flight, calls, and care of these animals.

Class includes:

• Theoretical introduction: biology, behavior and training techniques of raptors
• Flight demonstration
• Hands-on experience: you will try to call a raptor on your glove and guide it in flight under the supervision of an experienced falconer
• Photography sessions

For children

Younger children (ages 4 and up) can experience the thrill of calling a raptor on their glove, observe it up close and learn the secrets of these fascinating birds.

The Baptism of the Glove is the perfect experience to introduce children to the world of raptors in an easy and fun way.

Your children will have direct contact with docile birds: trained owls, buzzards or hawks. The whole thing will be immortalized with a souvenir photo.

The falconer will show the raptor and explain how to gently approach it. Next, the child will put on a falconer's glove and, with the expert's help, call the raptor on his or her hand.

At the end, each child will receive a symbolic certificate to remember the experience.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.
