The Falconry Experience

Falconry Experience

Falconry is an ancient sport.  Falconers are depicted on stone slabs dating back to the 13th century BC. In Medieval Times; Emperors, Kings, Knights and even Ladies flew different kinds of raptors based on their social class. However, falconry is not lost to history - it is still a sport that is actively practiced by dedicated individuals worldwide, including right here in West Michigan!

Dr. Brian is a Master Class Falconer who has been flying for 30 years working with many types of raptors. His dedication to sharing this expertise through live-flighted bird of prey programs and falconry experience programs is a great way to engage others with these majestic creatures.

For a donation, Falconshire Raptors offers both public and private programs to our West Michigan community.

There’s nothing like seeing a falconer, his dog and his hawk working in concert. It’s truly an awe-inspiring sight!
