Bird Watching Tour - Family Fun - Tourist Attraction - Birds of Prey Center -
Duncan, Vancouver Island, BC
At the center we offer a range of unique educational and close-up
experiences with raptors of all kinds. The birds are housed
in a range of falconry mews and aviaries, in natural woodland
and agricultural setting, and most birds are on view to the
public. The majority of BC’s diurnal (daytime) raptors
are represented, as well as a number of owls.
We will direct you where to go when you book your group in,
and upon arrival. Grounds are landscaped primarily with native
plants, including ponds and wetlands, and a number of picnic
tables are available for snacks/lunch. There is a small interpretive
center, gift store, and a washroom.
We are pleased this year to offer standard school visits
which comprise of a tour of the birds of approximately 30
minute duration, followed by a flying demonstration in which
we free-fly at least three different species of raptor. We
demonstrate the history of falconry, and modern falconry techniques,
as well as interpreting their flight, hunting behavior and
other aspects of their ecology. We provide unique opportunities
for a really close-up look as we handle the birds and discuss
them with the children. Educational groups can be accommodated
on this program any day except Wednesdays.
