Overview
Meet the Birds of Prey at Pontefract in West Yorkshire. Step into the captivating world of birds of prey in Pontefract, West Yorkshire! Just a short drive from Leeds, this unforgettable experience gives you the chance to meet and handle a stunning array of raptors at a welcoming and intimate falconry centre. You’ll be introduced to Kira, the heart and soul of the centre. A skilled breeder, trainer, and passionate falconer, Kira has a remarkable connection with her birds. Her calm, caring approach and deep understanding of each raptor make watching them together something truly special. Kira’s feathered family includes both captive-bred birds and rescues she’s lovingly rehabilitated. After studying raptor care and rehabilitation in South Africa, she returned home to West Yorkshire to create her own haven for birds in need – and now shares that passion with visitors like you. During your visit, you could meet Libby the charming African Spotted Eagle Owl, Bungle the impressive Eagle Owl, Tilly the sweet Barn Owl, Kobie the striking Harris Hawk, and Geoff the Hawk, a rescue bird with a touching backstory that Kira will share with you in person. Sessions are run on a private basis, so it will be just your family, Kira, and the birds. You’ll hear fascinating stories, learn about falconry and conservation, and even get the chance to fly these magnificent creatures into your gloved hand. Open all year round, this experience is perfect for bird lovers, families, and anyone looking for a unique and heartwarming day out in the Yorkshire countryside.

Kath
Brilliant experience. Kira was very knowledgable and friendly. Her birds were beautiful characters. It was a hot day for the birds so they were unwilling to fly far but they did fly to us and happily sat on our arms while we chatted and fed them. Well definitely do this again.
Sheila Briscoe
Lovely company. Lots of information. Birds were amazing. And so well looked after.
Christine Spedding
Our visit to KL Falconry greatly exceeded our expectations. The owner was very knowledgeable and helpful and we had a fantastic morning with the birds of prey. We would recommend this to any true wildlife lover.
Julie Horne
The bird of prey experience was ok. The problem wasnt kira the handeling lady. It was the weather. The birds were too hot. We only had an hour and no flying because of the heat. A bit dissapointing really. But i dont know how it cud have been sorted because noone cant change the weather.
Ray Nota

What fantastic experience this was, four beautiful owls, I managed to have three of them sitting on my arm, the fourth owl Eagle owl was a little bit sceptical of me, so Kiri kept him on her arm. I learnt so much about the owls from owner Kira Wild, she is very knowledgeable and passionate about the owls and all birds of prey, the experience lasted about 90 minutes and was held in the woodland, I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who has an interest in birds of prey. Just one tip, make sure you cover up your legs and arms, there were a lot of midges flying around the woods, probably due to the hot sticky weather on the day.

Incredible experience Kira is amazing so warm and friendly and hugely knowledgeable and experienced, a real passion for what she does that just adds to the experience. Birds were absolutely beautiful and the whole management of holding them for my mum in law was done really well and made her feel really comfortable. We will be booking more with Kira for sure.
