Litchard Primary School

falconry

Jason came to Litchard Primary and delivered 3 workshops for children aged 3-11.

The quality of his delivery and his 'way' witht the children was fantastic.

The birds themselves were something else altogether!

To be able to see and interact with such rare and beautiful creatures isn't something any of us will forget!

Across the board this was an outstanding visit that we will undoubtedly look to repeat in the not too distant future. Brilliant.

Farnham Heath End School Visit

falconry

Summer term week 1 - Newsletter. The FHES Science department kicked off the Summer term with an inspiring event with Falconry-UK.

It was a privilege to welcome the Falconry-UK to FHES with their birds of prey.

We were introduced to a range of beautiful and fascinating birds of prey.

Year 8 students were delighted and enthralled to meet Rocco the Pygmy Falcon, Brooklyn the Verreaux Milky Eagle owl, Bailey the White Faced Owl, Blu the Blue Winged Kookaburra and many more.

Students were engaged and enthused by Jason Ashcroft’s expertise and knowledge.

His passion and pride for the birds was evident throughout.

FHES students were given the opportunity to participate and handle the birds, with great care and he seamlessly focused his presentation on the topic of Adaptation which the students will be studying in their science curriculum.

The question and feedback sessions were particularly engaging and the students were completely at ease and eager to participate.

Jason was very keen to thank and praise all Year 8 FHES students for their calm, considered and respectful behaviour towards the birds during all the sessions.

We look forward to further events with Falconry-UK in the future.

Well done Year 8s, it was an absolute pleasure to organise for you and to see the awe and wonder on your faces.

Many thanks to FHES staff who supported the science team with this event. Dhanya Birtwistle ( Science HoD)

Amazing Learning Experience

falconry

We had the best day when Jason visited our school in North Wales.

The pupils in Year 5 loved learning all about different Birds of Prey and really enjoyed learning all about their environment and how they live in our World.

Jason and his team was very professional and communicated with us well to ensure that the learners got the best out of the learning experience.

Fantastic Holiday Club Visit

falconry

Jason and his beautiful feathered friends visited our holiday club in Feb 2022 Half Term.

After personally seeing Jason at local events in the Bridgend area, I knew the visit would be a hit.

Jason was helpful from the start.

His emails were prompt and informative.

The children absolutely loved the visit - Lots of fun facts, opportunities to hold the owls and it was clear to see Jason loved his birds.

Thank you again Jason - Look forward to seeing you soon for another visit.

From all the Team at Simply Out of School Coety

Visit To OSCA Holiday Club

falconry

Wow! What a wonderful experience had by all of our children.

Jason organised our group so all children had the opportunity to meet the birds close up and allowed time for a photograph too.

The workshop after was met with a mixed reaction from our children who were given the opportunity to 'dissect' owl pellets.

Here are some of the comments from our children:

"5 Birds, WOW! I thought it would be 1. I loved Bailey" Sofia 8

"The birds were fascinating and beautiful, I loved it" Lukas 9

"I like owls", Ollie 5

"They looked cute", Lilly-Mae 5

"Good!", Billy 4

"I thought it was really good because the birds were very interesting and cute. It was exciting to hold. It was fascinating, I would like Jason to come again with more exciting birds" Klara 9

"In my personal opinion, I thought that the birds were fascinating as most children at OSCA's would never see or hold birds like what we saw. It was interesting as Jason brang in extremley rare birds. It was a wonderful experience", Ava 10

"I thought that the birds were amazing and really cool also. I hope that I and the OSCA can see you and your pet birds again from Rose. The rating was a 5 star.Jason thank you so much" Rose 8

Best Birthday EVER

falconry

So these guys were absolutely amazing!

Not only did they drive four hours in miserable weather, they worked with my (huge!) family in our living room to give us such an incredible 2 hour show with 6 incredible birds.

The knowledge Jason has about the birds is unparalleled, and as a fellow animal trainer (I’m a canine Behaviourist) the love and respect he has for his birds is clear from the start.

We all got opportunities to hold and see the birds, as well as as many photos and videos as we liked.

Everybody from children to adults were thrilled and captivated by Jason and these incredible animals.

Best money I have ever spent and best birthday present ever!

Can’t wait for the summer to have these guys again for an outdoor display. Absolutely incredible.

Fantastic Birthday Visit

falconry

Hi Jason, we just wanted to say a huge thank you for coming today and for being so fantastic with everyone.

The girls absolutely loved it and the grown ups had a great surprise too.

I think my husband wants you to come back for his birthday?

We've got some wonderful photos but we really, really thought it was great.

Your love and admiration for all of the birds was plain to see and the birds themselves were absolutely stunning!

I hope we get to see you again at a local event.

Thank you!

Children Captivated!

falconry

Our entire school (Pre-School through to Year 6) were captivated by Jason and his feathered friends!

He provided a series of fact-filled educational talks delivered in a captivating way for all age groups.

It really helped to get our children enthusiastic about spotting nature and getting outside as part of our Children's Mental Health week activities.

The children loved interacting with the birds and we were left with great pictures and treasured memories.

Thank You Jason!

What a Wonderful Experience!

falconry

Another amazing visit led by Jason.

Our children were thoroughly engaged throughout the whole workshop and were so excited to meet Bailey, Tito, Blu and Brooklyn to name a few birds.

They learnt so many fantastic facts and more importantly could link their in school learning.

They were so excited to dissect the owl pellets and enjoyed identifying the many bones!

Thank you again ;-)

5th Birthday Party

falconry

Jason brought his amazing birds to my son's 5th Birthday Party.

I wasn't too sure exactly what to expect, but the experience exceeded all expectations.

All the children and parents had an amazing time and I would definitely recommend Falconry UK!

The kids and parents were intrigued by Jason's quick tutorials of each bird, and it made their day when they were able to hold the birds.

Riders School

falconry

Jason came to our schools for the day, giving our children, all 478 of them, in groups, throughout the day, the opportunity to see the birds, learn about the birds, and hold the birds.

Our children, aged from 4-11, were just 'buzzing' with the 'awe and wonder' of the visit.

A great presentation; very confidently and passionately delivered.

Will definitely be booking again in the future and highly recommend!

Thank you!

School Visit

falconry

This is the third time we've asked Jason to come in and talk to the children about the birds, and as always he was amazing.

The children were so engaged, and haven't stopped talking about the new facts and information they know, particularly about owls.

The parents have loved seeing the pictures of their children with the various birds, and the children haven't stopped asking when they will see them again.

School Falconry Visit

falconry

Jason visited our school to show the children a falconry display as an end of term treat after reading our novel, 'The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark.'

Jason was very knowledgeable about all of his birds , interacting with the children really well and keeping them engaged throughout the educational talk.

The children were absolutely amazed by all of the wonderful birds and they learnt so much about them, including their names.

I would highly recommend this visit!

Brilliant!

falconry

Jason did a show for my sons 10th birthday party at my house.

He is such a friendly and knowledgable person, really engaging for both kids and my adult family members who were here.

I was so impressed with the unusual birds he brought, not what I expected at all and a dream to hold a kookaburra.

You can tell how much he cares for and loves his birds.

Jason handled the ten boys really well and they were totally engaged the whole time.

For my bird loving son, this was a magical experience.

Thank you Jason (and the birds) for making my sons birthday a truly special day.

Would recommend highly!
