Something a little different today... ππ»
We spent the day travelling down to Bristol to attend a training workshop focused on modern animal training techniques, learning aids, and behaviour-based approaches through postive reinforcement. π
While the course wasn't solely focused on Birds of Prey, there were plenty of valuable takeaways that have given us fresh ideas on how we can continue to get the very best from our feathered family. π¦

Now comes the exciting part β reviewing everything we've learned and exploring how we can put it into practice to further enhance the welfare, enrichment, and training of our birds.
Why do we invest our time in courses like this?
A lot of traditional falconry and bird training knowledge comes from books written many years ago. Whilst much of that information remains valuable, ongoing research and scientific studies are constantly improving our understanding of animal behaviour and learning.
We strongly believe in embracing new knowledge and staying up to date with the latest developments. If it means providing even better care, enrichment, and opportunities for our birds, then it's something we're always eager to learn more about. π«‘
