Our long-established Owl and Bird of Prey care home visits are Theraputic,Sensory and very different, at the same time, devised to bring moments of wonder and a deeper connection to nature, into everyday life.

Devised by and undertaken by Colin Sutherland, giving his own free time and expertise, offers something truly unique—far beyond typical activities and probably the most effective available.

Undertaken in any residential lounge and social area, on the day, residents have the opportunity to meet and interact with our specially trained birds, such as Dorris the Kestrel, ,Rocky the Barn owl, Norman the Eagle Owl, Bert the Harris Hawk and others , gently holding a bird or simply enjoying their serene presence, each visit is tailored to inspire joy, spark curiosity, and evoke a lasting sense of calm.
