    A small place but really great staff. The falconers are very knowledgeable, the birds well kept and only currently £4 for an adult ,£2 for children . They even do birthday parties as well as falconry and owl experiences. Norman the Eagle owl is lovely. Definitely worth a visit.

    Had a great time at our owl handling experience. Sadie was fun, engaging and passionate about what she does which only made our time here better. Charlie the Indian Eagle Owl was a real character. Absolutely recommend.

    Feathers and Fur came to a local WI meeting with some of their birds of prey and owner Sadie was a joy to watch and listen to. Passionate, knowledgeable and funny, Sadie is based normally at Moss End Garden Centre and if she's anything like she was at our WI meeting, I'd highly recommend going to see her if you are at all interested in birds of prey. Here's me with one of her birds and Sadie herself.

    Sometime small is beautiful and that is very true of Feathers and Fur, I attended a photography experience which was very relaxed Sadie was very helpful and the static settings for the birds gives some very natural shots. We'll worth the money and a place I will be visiting again. Have returned for another Photography experience and really must say that Sadie provides one of the best experiences around the area, her handling of the birds is superb allowing the opportunity to get some great photos. I am just staggered by the photos I am getting from the centre and cannot praise it enough, if you are thinking about trying a photo experience do not hesitate you really will not be disappointed.

    We had the most excellent time with Olivia. Very knowledgeable and passionate. The very best gift for my Mums 80th birthday. As a lifelong owl lover, to be close to these magnificent birds was such a privilege. Thank you!

    Absolutely terrific. Got given a birthday gift for the half day falconry experience. Put in a group of 6 people, perfect number as you get a lot of bird time! The lady in charge was absolutely splendid - so knowledgeable and charismatic as well. Would highly recommend!!!

    Came across this lovely little place by chance and my husband and I throughly enjoyed it Good value for money ,I mean £4 each that's cheaper than a couple of pints these days Nearly all the birds were visible, though being daytime some of the owls were tucked up in their houses All the pens were very clean and the birds looked really well cared for .We were chatting to a lovely young lady ( sorry didn't get name) who was very knowledgeable and seemed passionate about her job Would definitely recommend a little trip if you're in the area

    Feathers and Fur is amazing! We came all the way from the US, and it was worth it. We did the half day bird of prey experience, and it was amazing. The birds fly to you while out in a field, meanwhile Sadie tells and teaches you all of the interesting things you never knew about that particular bird. I can't recommend it enough!

    Amazing and unforgettable handling experience, up close and personal with several beautiful owls. Olivia is so informative and clearly loves and cares for the birds. We were treated so kindly and time wasn't an issue. They were all very healthy and free flying. Very highly recommended for all ages.

    Such an amazing day out for any bird or nature lover. I was a spectator whilst my partner was a voucher holder. Sadie was so engaging and knowledgeable. We have learnt so much from today. Honestly I’d go again tomorrow. Thank you so much

    Loved our experience! Fascinating, and so special. Small groups so you really get a lot of time with the birds. Sadie was superb. Birds all stunning and very well cared for.

    My son did the Junior Falconry experience with Sadie today and he had a fantastic time. The 3 hours were relaxed and fun, as well as informative and interesting. Sadie was great at engaging with the kids and delivered the session at just the right level to keep them fully engaged. He learnt all about what goes on behind the scenes and got to clean out an aviary, weighed an owl, learnt about the equipment and knots used and prepared their food. Being part of a small group meant that when it came to flying the birds everyone got plenty of handling and feeding time, and lots of photo opportunities. Sadie is obviously devoted and passionate about the birds at the centre and this certainly shone through. My son now wants to do the Photography experience so we'll definitely be back! Thank you Sadie for an amazing day.

    Lovely place to visit owls and falcons in their enclosures, including large owls and smaller birds each with their own personalities. Loved seeing Bailey the barn owl, a personal favourite who was a great host and even came forward to speak to us.

    I have visited Feathers & Fur several times this year and yesterday, we did the Family Fun day, where we got to experience some of the birds up close. It has been amazing every time! Their birds are in very good health. Well situated in their roomy aviaries and obviously well looked after. I highly recommend visiting if you have any interest in these beautiful birds. A word of advice though: If you are thinking of getting one of these types of birds as a pet, it is nothing like what it looks like in Harry Potter for example. Do your research and realize this is not a dog or cat and these birds bring a risk with them due to their very sharp beaks and even sharper claws.

    My bird crazy wife was in heaven. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it too. Sadie is passionate and knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful experience. Being so close to these wonderful birds and seeing them fly was amazing. Highly recommend doing the full hands on experience. Feeling them land on your hand and seeing them close up was so good.

  • 5/5 Megan J. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent bird of prey experience with Olivia. Beautiful birds and the staff really care about them. Would recommend booking an experience or even just visiting the averies at the back of the Ladd's Garden Centre.

  • 5/5 Mark T. 4 years ago on Google
    Did the half day experience recently and had an awesome time. The birds were magnificent and it was a truly memorable day. Sadie was hilarious and the group is small so everyone gets a lot of time with the birds, would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Paula S. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic half day experience with these stunning birds. Sadie is amazing, personable, passionate with a great sense of humour. We were lucky enough to meet 2 week old baby owl Dobby, can’t wait to go back next month with my children. I can’t recommend this place enough 👍😁

  • 5/5 Stefania 4 years ago on Google
    Seeing those beautiful creatures close up was definately an unforgettable experience!

  • 5/5 Veronika P. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful time, as this was my birthday gift. It's hard to discribe the feeling when one of these majestic creatures land on your left hand. Maybe I could do it with a poem... These stunning birds are well taken care of. We were also lucky that weather was great. Sadie, the owner, is fun and intelligent lady and I want to thank her for the experience.

  • 5/5 Jacob G. 2 years ago on Google
    My wife bought me the owl experience package as a birthday present and we had an amazing time. Olivia was great, both enthusiastic and knowledgable in equal measure. Loved spending time with the owls and learning all about then. Cannot wait to come back. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Julie H. 1 year ago on Google
    This amazing experience was a Birthday Gift from my Son and Daughter-in-law and what a treat it was. Thank you to Sadie for making it such an interesting and educational morning as well as just sheer joy. I highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Nicholas V. 2 years ago on Google
    A really excellent operation, with beautiful birds, a highly knowledgeable and friendly staff, and a lovely layout. My father and I passed a wonderful morning flying various different birds with Sadie, who constantly peppered us with anecdotes and valuable information, and who made her enthusiasm and love for her feathered charges abundantly clear. Would recommend to anyone who has a few hours to spare and who enjoys up close experiences with awesome avians.

  • 5/5 Alohari M. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing place for the kids to learn about birds of prey. We had our daughter's birthday party there and all the children loved it. Sadie is amazing with children and you can tell how much she loves and cares for all the animals there.

  • 5/5 Sally K. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing 10th birthday treat. This was a party of 3 adults and 7 children, the youngest being 6… the eldest 60. We had an amazing experience. Thank you Olivia for spending over an hour teaching us about your beautiful birds, your love and passion for them literally filled the room. SO much information and really interesting facts. Our experience was having a beautiful barn owl first flying to each of us after we had been given a handlers glove and explanation of what to expect and how to behave in the interests of the birds. After the barn owl came the kestrel and then the Harris hawk. An outstanding experience which we will 100% be doing again. As an extra special treat for our birthday girl she got to hold a snowy owl (that looked just like Hedwig.) you could feel her vibrating with the excitement of that opportunity. So a very special thank you to Olivia for recognising a fellow bird lover in that little girl.

    What an absolutely great experience. Our 6-year-old absolutely loved meeting the owls (Especially Ash and Gimli) and we're already planning to come back! Massive thank you to Olivia who was super kind and patient - it's not easy to hold a young child's attention but she was brilliant at it!

  • 5/5 Brian H. 4 years ago on Google
    An awesome experience. Sadie is wonderful, especially with the kids, and we all learned a lot about the birds.

    Really Great experience. Got to handle and feed several owls and falcons. Olivia was very friendly and a knowledgeable expert. would recommend the half day to anyone.

  • 5/5 Adam B. 3 years ago on Google
    We did a 2 hour session flying various birds. Sadie was very very helpful with modifying the session to fit in with our plans for the day and being safe given the coronavirus concerns. We had a really great time. Sadie was knowledgeable and the birds were friendly and very interesting. We got some really great photos and would highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 3 years ago on Google
    After not being out much in the last several months due to the virus we had the most wonderful and welcoming visit at Feathers and Fur Falconry. The staff were happy to let us watch feeding time, talked to us happily about each bird, then we spent along time stroking the gorgeous dogs. My kids said it was their favourite place ever and we can't wait to visit again!!

  • 5/5 Richard Y. 4 years ago on Google

    A wonderful evening for our beaver scouts. Sadie was superb in keeping their interest for the whole time and of course they learned a great deal about these beautiful creatures. Well worth the money

  • 5/5 Jacq M. 4 years ago on Google
    Despite the weather, my 14 year old had a great time meeting the birds during her 2 hour falconry experience. Her favourite was the Barn Owl. Sadie was fantastic with the teenagers, really engaging and knowlegable. If you want to do something different with your kids, I'd thoroughly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Claire W. 4 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely place to visit. Not huge so doesn't take long to go round but some lovely birds. I took my mum who is in a wheelchair and the paths are ok. Gravel is a bit hard going but really no issue. My mum was delighted to see the owls especially and Sadie was on hand to tell her a bit about them. She was even happier when she was offered the chance to hold one. Thank you Sadie; you have really made my mum's day x

  • 5/5 John B. 4 years ago on Google
    Went here for a birthday present, a very good day out. Flying the bird's and a very informative instructor who made the whole day fun would recommend for all ages. Kids would love it.

  • 5/5 Janine L. 4 years ago on Google
    I bought my daughter a falconry experience. This became the start of a new hobby and love of photography of these beautiful birds. She was looked after by patient and knowledgeable staff. They were happy to oblige with some of her photographic ideas. She has gone back a few more times as she felt so relaxed and comfortable at the centre.

  • 5/5 Peter D. 4 years ago on Google
    Having had to reschule ... well worth the wait.. slightly chilly at 7degrees but the session was hands on from go and listerning to all the information and handling some beautiful birds of pray can say this is a must do. Thanks to Sadie for taking us through the session and sharing your passion with us.

  • 5/5 dollydaydream96 4 years ago on Google

    Just fabulous. The love of birds of prey, enthusiasm, insightful knowledge and fun shown by the owner is absolutely amazing. I never thought I'd find a falconry that interesting but this was amazing.

  • 4/5 Barbēlō A. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place...not really wheelchair accessible, but it's ok.... Cages for the birds are small but they are only in the small cages for short time so that's ok....least they're happy n well looked after, being made to feel as part of the family!

  • 4/5 cher911 4 years ago on Google
    Was ok, but not much to see. Might be disabled friendly, but not really fit for wheelchair. Cages for the owls were very small imo. Actually, thnx for that informative reply, it had reassured me regarding the birds. So I have upped my stars from 2* to 4*. Thank you, I will definitely be visiting again feeling a lot more happier

  • 5/5 Shaun C. 4 years ago on Google
    We have visited the centre on a few occasions now, some merely drop-ins other occasions for pre-booked session, always made to feel very welcome, the information provided is vast Sadie's enthusiasm and drive is always very upbeat which only adds to making your visit more enjoyable, cannot wait until we return for our next visit.

  • 5/5 Katie C. 4 years ago on Google

    A Phenomenal Experience at Fur and Feathers - 5 Stars My partner and I had the privilege of celebrating their 50th birthday with a private session at Fur and Feathers, and I am thrilled to say it exceeded all our expectations. The birds were absolutely stunning, and the experience of meeting, flying, and learning about them was nothing short of perfect. The staff's dedication to these magnificent creatures and their efforts to educate visitors about the struggles they face in the wild were both enlightening and inspiring. Spending two perfect hours immersed in the beauty and grace of these birds was an unforgettable experience, and we are eagerly looking forward to returning with our kids and teenagers. It’s a fantastic opportunity for families to bond and learn together in a serene environment. For anyone visiting the Windsor area, especially those staying at the Fairmont Hotel or visiting Legoland with children, I highly recommend taking a break from your itinerary to visit Fur and Feathers. It's a wonderful way to introduce a moment of calm and connection with nature into your trip. Thank you, Fur and Feathers, for an exceptional experience. Your passion for these birds and their conservation is truly commendable. We couldn't recommend you highly enough!
