Amazing Joint Graduation & 11th Birthday Party!

falconry

Absolutely the best booking we have ever made for a family party!

Jason & Wendy were both lovely people and true professionals.

From start to finish Jason enthralled us all, both young, (aged 3) to old, (aged 79).

He taught us all so much about his amazing birds in such an interesting and exciting way and having the chance to wear the glove and experience holding some of these marvellous birds was unbelievable.

He was happy for us to take our own photo's throughout which we did, but I would also highly recomend booking his very talented photographer who has done an outstanding job, even capturing the youngest of the children perfectly with his beautiful birds!

Definitely a 5 Stars from us!

Fantastic Sessions!

falconry

Jason ran five sessions, for ages Reception all the way up to Year 6.

Each session was perfectly pitched, informative and Jason built great relationships with the pupils and staff.

The birds are absolutely beautiful and brilliantly behaved, the children were enthralled, as were the staff.

It was talked about all day and we would have Falconry UK back anytime.

Thank you so much for making our Outdoor Week so special!

What A Hoot!

falconry

What a session!

The children absolutely loved it and learnt so much.

You had them hooked at every bit of the workshop.

All the children were buzzing after and could share with their friends why the certain birds had 'ears' and spots on the back of their heads.

Nice touch for the children to have their picture taken with the owl as they were able to share this moment with their families.

Retirement Village Review

falconry

We were delighted to welcome Jason and some of his beautiful birds to our village last week.

We were treated to and engaging and interactive talk about all the birds and Jason was able to allow many many people the chance to handle them and see them up close.

To see the looks on faces with Blu, Rocco, Tyson and the others was joyful and frankly has been the topic of conversation for many days since.

If you have an opportunity to welcome in Falconry UK, please do.

One Of The Best School Workshops I Have Experienced!

falconry

We were lucking enough to have Jason and his fantastic collection of birds visit our Year 5 class.

The workshop included meeting all the birds, finding out huge amounts about their behaviour, adaptations and individual personalities, as well as having the opportunity for the children (and staff) to hold all the birds using the gauntlet.

A few even had the experience of the birds flying to them!

Following this, Jason led an owl pellet investigation.

The whole class were able to get involved and loved the combination of fascinating bone finds and the delightfully disgusting act of pulling apart the pellets.

The half day workshop concluded with a very exciting team quiz which revisited all the learning from the morning.

Jason had a wonderful manner with the children.

His calm and engaging style meant that all the children were involved, even those who started off a little anxious about the birds.

In fact, one of the most concerned members of the class now wants to be a Falconer after their experience.

From a teacher's point of view, this was a workshop which was easy and enjoyable.

Jason smoothly managed the whole session, which a focus on the wellbeing of the birds, children and hygiene.

This made for a very relaxing experience for me...even whilst holding a vulture!

I chose this half day session to be the launch event or hook for the term of Science and Technology that lies ahead of us and it worked perfectly.

The children are all excited, engaged and prepped with a good level of knowledge to allow us to now build upon and extend their learning.

I would highly recommend a visit from Jason and I hope to welcome him and his feathered friends back soon!

School Visit

falconry

Jason & his birds came to visit us today and present to our EYFS & Year 1 children.

What a fantastic morning the children had - they all came out of the hall wishing they had longer time with the birds.

Jason was great explaining about each bird with his funny stories.

This was a great tie in with the baby owl topics but I think the rest of the school will enjoy this treat.

Can't wait to have Jason, his birds and Poppy the dog back into our school soon.

Definitely will be booking again.

School Visit

Jason and the birds were amazing!

This is a hook for our topic ‘The owl who was afraid of the dark’, and what a hook it was!

The children had a fantastic time and learnt so much!

The birds were incredible and all the children were able to hold them!

The highlight of the day was seeing Poppy, what a little superstar!

Thank you Jason for another fantastic, fun and educational visit!

Ben's 18th

falconry

I was a guest at Ben's 18th, what an amazing experience!

I've got to admit I've always been a bit wary of all types of birds, but Jason's approach was so good a actually held one!

We all learned a lot whilst having so much fun, Jason is very friendly and made sure everyone had a chance to get involved.

A few of the young adults there have learning disabilities and Jason as great with them, didn't pressure them to answer or hold the birds.

I took so many photos and have told lots of people about it.

Couldn't recommend Falconry UK higher.

14th Bromley Scout Group

falconry

We were delighted with our visit from Falconry UK in May 2022.

Our scouts found the visit extremely engaging and the communication and delivery of the session was very well tailored to the 10-14 year old audience.

Falconry UK provided a very diverse range of bird species.

A lot of our volunteers have been in scouting for many years and have attended many bird displays in that time - we all left very impressed with the range of birds shown (many of which we had not been privileged to see before).

The scouts enjoyed how hands on and practical the session was, and Jason was very knowledgeable about the birds on display and was able to answer every question posed in an engaging and educative manner.

For the price we paid, we were absolutely delighted with what was provided and would recommend this experience to other scout groups (it was just as much a treat for the leaders as the young people)!

A Must Book!!!

falconry

Jason came to Avonwood Primary and delivered 3 workshops to Year 5.

He was very knowledgeable about the birds of prey and was able to share his passion with the children using lots of class recall of fascinating facts.

Children had a hands-on and personal experience with the birds; we were able to use all the information learnt in the visit in the children's reports on owls.

This was a great morning for all Year 5 children and related wonderfully to our key text.

All the children, who wanted to, were able to have a photograph with one of the birds and experience holding them.

We were also able to investigate the bird's pellets and how this showed us their diet.

Thank you to Falconry UK (and Bailey, Rocco, Blu and Marmalade) for their expertise, patience and entertaining workshops!

The children (and staff) loved it!

Jason made the girls birthday party one to remember.

Was a truly magical time from the time Jason got there till the time he left.

He was amazing with the kids and they all loved it and really enjoyed.

It was really interesting to listen to and see all the birds out and watching the children hold them and their faces light up.

I would highly recommend Jason .. a fab expertise and one to remember.

Not forgetting how much the adults enjoyed  ❤️

Family Celebration Made Complete

falconry

Huge thanks to Jason and his wonderful birds for making our celebration complete.

Three generations of our family spent a weekend together, and the highlight was Jason's visit.

He engaged the interest of us all, we were both educated and entertained.

Jason is very knowledgeable about all his birds, and being able to have them fly to our fist (with gauntlet) and be so close to them was a very special experience.

Birds of Prey Workshop- Kingfisher Hall Primary Academy

falconry

Thank you Jason for delivering an outstanding workshop to our year three pupils.

The children loved learning about different birds of prey and now have a sound knowledge about them.

The best thing about you was the way you delivered the lessons.

It was very practical, engaging and memorable.

I would recommend Falconry UK (Jason Ashcroft) to any school, organisation or individual.

A fantastic experience!

Amazing!

falconry

Jason brought his fabulous birds of prey to engage our Year 3&4 children in their topic 'Predator'.

Not only was the set up and display highly professional but Jason was excellent with the children.

He completely captured the pupils with his knowledge and engaging manner.

I can't recommend this experience enough and we can't wait to have Falconry UK back at Maesynryn Promiary again soon!
