    RAPTOR PRESENTATIONS
  • Please read over, check all the boxes and sign.



    Cancellation policy: We do not give refunds but will apply a credit to be used in future presentations. This also applies to, if we for any reason need to cancel your presentation due to unforeseen weather, natural disaster conditions like wildfires or illnesses like the flu/Covid.      


    Bird Saftey Policy: We do not allow guests to touch or handle the birds of prey for their safety and the safety of our birds, with some exceptions as determined by the falconer and bird. We request that guests stand at least 3 feet from the birds and to not come up behind the birds as this can startle them. Our birds are wild creatures and are still getting use to large groups of people. Quietness and slow approach is necessary for a pleasant experience for both the birds and the guests.


    Guests are allowed to take picutres of the birds and selfies with the birds (as long as the birds do not appear stresed). The birds set their own boundaries when working with guests.


    If at anytime we see our birds becoming too stressed by the location or guests we will give our birds breaks inside their bird boxes. We may or may not bring them back out depending on the bird.
