Experience the unimaginable feeling of interacting with a magnificent hawk during this encounter. Understand more about these creatures as you hold one on your glove, gaze straight into its eyes and set it free, watching it perform amazing aerial manoeuvres with ease before returning to your glove.
Dedicated to the education and preservation of the world’s bird species, the Sanctuary has created a number of encounters to further inspire the public about our winged creatures. This exhilarating encounter allows you to come nose-to-beak with a hawk, experiencing the unparalleled feeling of holding a hawk on your glove, staring directly into its eyes and then setting it free. Be amazed as they soar, swoop, dive and manoeuvre like an aerial acrobat before it returns to your glove. You'll absolutely love the feeling of giving these non-releasable birds the chance to experience wild flight again under the watchful eye of a handler. This experience also includes an encounter with a wedge-tailed eagle.
Children must be over seven years old and be accompanied by a paying adult.
Maximum of three participants.
Not appropriate for spectators.
Extreme weather conditions including heat, high winds and rain may result in your booking being rescheduled. You will be notified as soon as the handlers have made appropriate arrangements. Handlers can adjust your booking up to two hours before in line with weather changes and bird behaviour, and will contact you to reschedule.
Please dress appropriately for outdoor activities. Enclosed footwear is required.
1) Please make sure you text 0490701157 24 hours before your Experience or Event to confirm your availability. Guests sometimes cancel, and the confirmation text will allow the Handler on the day confirmation of your Experience and select appropriate birds for your booking. Failure to confirm your attendance may result in your Experience being postponed or cancelled. 2) Experiences and Events are held at multiple private parks across Western Sydney. The Handlers will use different locations to make it more adventurous for the birds. 181 Mamre Road Orchard Hills is the primary site where bookings and events take place. 3) The location provided is not the Sanctuary, and will not have any other birds on site. Birds are transported to the Hawking Field for your intimate Experience or Event. After your Experience, the birds are returned to the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is presently not open to the public, it’s a place dedicated to the bird's well-being with minimal human disturbance.
This experience takes place in Orchard Hills, NSW.

That’s 10% of the Australian population! When we started ‘doing’ experiences in 2001, Facebook didn’t exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We’ve been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
