Pip the Barn Owl born in 2016, has human-like qualities and is very affectionate towards people, Pip would actively look to sit with you and would rather sit on your lap rather then your glove (almost like a puppy). Barn owl’s survival depends on its amazing powers of super hearing which are the best in the animal kingdom! Scientists say that in completely still conditions they can hear a mouse’s heartbeat from 3 meters away! Barn owls typically hunt for tiny field voles, shrews or wood mice which often come out at night.

Diesel our Turkey Vulture born in 2018, recognised by his featherless red head (much like a turkey!) Diesel can easily be spotted when he displays his long wingspan and when performing the heraldic pose. This pose in the wild not only warms the turkey vulture up, but it also burns off any parasites he may have. With Diesel’s incredible sense of smell, he can trace a piece of meat up to the size of an average steak from over a mile away. Turkey Vultures turn redder when they blush!

There’s no doubt that Baldrick the Harris Hawk is a crowd pleaser! No matter where you are, Baldrick will always display to the best of his ability. Harris Hawks are the 4^th most intelligent bird of prey in the World, they hunt in a team! The hunting style of these Harris Hawks is especially effective with units of five, this makes it easier to catch larger rodents that wouldn’t normally be caught with one hawk. They are also known for their incredible eyesight, of which is up to eight times stronger than that of humans, they don’t say ‘eyes like a hawk’ for nothing!

Fergus our Ferruginous buzzard originates from north America, 2017, normally hunt on their own during the summer months, throughout winter they are known to hunt in groups of 5-10. Ferruginous buzzards have adapted slightly to what they used to be as when bison roamed the west ferruginous buzzards used to make nests out of their bones. Fergus is not the brightest bird of the bunch and tends to be a little dopy. Although his lovable character makes him a firm favourite with the team and is definitely one of our standout birds!
