Arrived at the Falconry Centre today after two bus rides and a 10 minute walk. Unfortunately, we were the only ones there, and were told there would be no bird flights today due to "wind". We were offered a visit to the aviaries and told we could handle the birds. After a cup of tea in the bar, we decided not to enter the centre as neither of us wanted to hold the birds, and had been looking forward to seeing them in action in flight. If you are thinking of going in out of season months, you might want to telephone ahead to see what they are planning for the day to avoid disappointment.
It was just excellent to come here. The birds are all very impressive and the lady who owns the place is more then helpful. Very good trip with our 4 year old who was genuinely impressed with touching owls and holding them on your arm .
We found this place by accident while looking for a tour bus and we are so glad we did! For only 6 euros we had such an amazing experience. There were 2 of us, plus another family of 3 and the staff were great! They gave us so much time with the birds, holding a tawny owl, little owl and some harris hawks. They clearly love their birds, and the birds love them right back. The animals are in fantastic condition. We took some great pics and it was definitely one of the highlights of our Malta trip.
I have been visiting the Malta Falconry Centre for the past 6 or 7 years, and every time I go, I feel welcome and at home. The owners are amazingly friendly, love all their birds as if they were their children, and the birds are amazingly beautiful, well cared for and very well kept. The surroundings are very serene & welcoming, and whenever I go there it is like heaven :)Well done to the owners & staff who day after day, show and teach the art of falconry here in Malta, and showing visitors how noble and elegant this art really is.Well done & keep it up!!!
We were so glad we found this place it was not busy and the owner let us hold,stroke so many birds and take pictures.They take care of them and love what they do and told us alot about them.Its an interesting and great place to spend a couple of hours.Thankyou to the owners.Dean
We loooved this place so much. Doreen was such a lovely lady, she showed us around for hours and the birds and her have such an amazing bond. We went back a second time and enjoyed the free flight show. Warren was so patient with us and we all got to hold the birds . If in Malta, you must go.
Thanks for your feedback.
My husband and I booked the full-day course at the Centre, and it was hands-down the best part of our trip. We arrived early, and the owner Doreen gave us a personal tour while we were waiting for the class to start. Warren introduced us to the birds and we got to help weigh them. He was very patient and answered all of our questions and made sure we had ample opportunities to take pictures. Later on, we got to fly one of the falcons and Warren graciously took pictures for us, probably a hundred or so! It was an amazing day. At the end, we went to pay but didn't realize they don't take credit cards. We didn't quite have enough cash, so Doreen took us to an ATM in the closest town and drove us back. Then when she learned we were taking the bus to our next adventure, she insisted on driving us to the bus stop! We really felt included, and it was so nice to meet people who care so much about their work. The birds are in wonderful hands, and we highly recommend it.
On a recent visit to Malta, enjoyed a couple of hours at the Falconry Centre.It's a bit difficult to find as the signage is a bit poor. People keep removing their signs?Doreen, the owner, gave us a guided tour & we were able to handle & get up close to some of the birds.Makes a nice change from those Maltese who only want to shoot at birds!
