A cracking owl sanctuary (1 Viewer)

Are there any close by?!?

Are you romancing an owl lover who likes artichokes?

 

[NorthernWisdom]

It's all part of the plan

 

[Grendel]

To my knowledge there are none. There is one I think around Banbury - what's the interest? There is a wildlife rescue centre in Nuneaton that sometimes rescues owls.

I think there is one in Stratford-on Avon. I went sometimes last year and there was a stall on the market that had some owls on it

I know mate. Just joshing

 

[skybluedan]

Do owls do tricks and things now ?

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Have to admit I'm more after a sanctuary, than a full-on owl experience.

 

[footyfrenzy]

the one on the market was a sanctuary but obviously I can't guarantee that they still have a stall

A wildlife sanctuary?

Well... I think for the moment it has to be nothing but an owl sanctuary Obviously other animals within would not be rejected but... owls are a must!

Not as local as I hoped, but looks pretty cracking. http://www.icbp.org/index/

All seems very sheepish if you don't mind me saying wisdom
Are you planning on stealing exotic animals and selling them on the black market?
Because if you are I know a guy who's got a three legged lama

Hatton have owls. As do Drayton Manor

 

[Otis]

Owls are coming to Fargo Village on August bank holiday Monday if that's any good!

Think it's more a falconry thing though to be honest.

A guy called Geoff Grewcock is involved with the Nuneaton one. He's on facebook.

Hatton could (maybe, maybe not!!) be an option come Saturday...

Hmmm, Hatton seems overly child-centric.

I appreciate such things are, after all, likely to be aimed at children, but this seems at the hellish end of it!

Have to agree, it looks a real hoot.

Hatton's a good day out if your kids are under five. Otherwise not so much.

Last time I was at Warwick castle they had plenty of owls. Pricey though.

You've not given us much of a steer on what you're looking for but the Falconry area at Hatton is based around a small green with the aviaries surrounding it. There's benches and thats where they do the flying displays. We went a few weeks ago and that was the only bit of the place that I enjoyed.

Some owls are suspicious characters.
