National Birds of Prey Centre achieves its conservation of birds of prey through Education, Captive Breeding, Research and Rehabilitation. Our methods for achieving this are on many levels. We aim to educate every visitor that comes through the gates. As many are only here for a day out, we try to make any education interesting, informative and fun.

" Established in 1974, The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine specializes in the medical care, rehabilitation, conservation, and study of eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons. In addition to treating more than 800 birds a year, we provide training in raptor medicine and surgery for veterinarians from around the world, reach more than 250,000 people each year through public education programs and events, and identify emerging issues related to raptor health and populations.

" The Cornish Birds of Prey Centre is situated on the A39 at Winnards Perch, halfway between St. Columb Major and Wadebridge and approximately 12 miles from Newquay in Cornwall.

We are able to cater for all ages and disabilities, as the Centre is set on open ground with a gentle slope and stunning views. With notification, we can organise group visits for both young and the not-so-young, and encourage participation in our 'Bird of Prey Days'. " ... more
