Established in 1999, the centre was originally set up for research purposes only, but as a consequence of increasing interest and local awareness, it was decided to open parts of the centre to visitors. In the summer of 2003 Eagles Flying introduced its birds to the first eager visitors and numbers continue to increase every year. The Eagles Flying Show is both fun and educational for the whole family! Their special method of working with animals makes it possible to allow them as close as possible to visitors. The scientists on hand present information on each of the birds and raptors in general speak ensuring a fun and educational outing.
