    BEST DAY EVER!!! For my birthday my husband surprised me with a bird of prey experience with Coda Falconey who partners with Hobbledown Heath. Luke, Emily and Emily (yes there's two Emily’s) made my birthday magical. They were so passionate, informative and fun. We were able enjoy each beautiful bird by holding them, watching them play and fly (getting there daily exercise). Emily demonstrated the speed of a Peregrine Falcon flying chasing a lure. Luke introduce us to the famous Loki, who was so smart and such a character. Luke also took us on a forest walk with Dizzy, an enchanting barn owl. I cannot wait to visit again. The Coda team are incredible.

    Wonderful farm, a lot to do with kind and family, you can bring your own picnic, also you can purchase on site food and drinks. A bit disappointed as included in price was a ride on the tractor to see the cows witch was cancelled, also no ride on plastic tractors for children as they used to have 2 years ago (replaced with bouncy castle but just not the same), indoor soft play area closed and riding on the tyres down the hill closed

    We went on a ‘Meet Loki the Raven’ experience to meet the famous Glossy Boi himself, and the whole thing was great from start to finish. Luke was a really friendly and talkative host and Loki was in great form, happy to come to the glove and have an explore as well. Recommended!

    Had a really great experience. We tried flying four birds (owl, buzzard, hawk, falcon) and learnt a lot about each. The staff were kind and knowledgeable.

    It was amazing experience with birds of prey. Although the weather wasn't quite good, the staff have managed it well. The birds are in welfare and they seemed to be quite relax even if there were some strangers around.

    After many years admiring the aesthetic and lore surrounding crows and ravens as a not so closeted goth, I recently became aware of London's biggest corvid celebrity Loki. Having watched a few interactions from videos online, I was even more excited to discover it was possible to meet him and the team who care for him and his avian family at Coda Falconry (within Hobbledown adventure park at Hounslow Heath). Elliot was incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic from the moment he greeted us. It becomes quickly obvious from the stories he's kind enough to share that the experience of caring for the animals is something very special. In person, watching the connection and relationship with the birds is very literally the stuff of folklore and magic. Watching Elliot talk and interact with Loki in particular was educational, engaging and a genuinely uplifting experience. After observing the relationship and learning more about it's history, being able to interact with Loki in person felt like even more of a privilege. The team and community that Coda are building around the falconry is a true testament to what can be achieved working with animals and nature as custodians, and recognising what we have to learn from those relationships. Huge thanks to all involved for the continued hard work and a wonderful experience.

    My friends and I visited Coda for a meet-and-show with Loki and his human buddy Elliot. Elliot told us about Loki's history, as well as ornithological info on ravens generally. Loki is absolutely mesmerizing and endearing, and seeing him hop onto my gloved hand for a treat, play about with toys, and croon out his various sounds were fascinating experiences. (Seeing the other beautiful, stunning raptor fowls on premise was lovely too.) Really so glad we came out for this experience!

    I booked the half day experience. This included meeting different birds including owls, a falcon and a hawk. The birds were flown in the arena and we went for a walk with the hawk. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable and the birds were stupendous. I thouroughly enjoyed my visit. Thank you!

    I went for the Loki experience and thoroughly enjoyed myself. We were treated wonderfully and given so much info and anecdotes about Loki, as well as the chance to meet him up close, feed, and play games with him. Afterwards we were shown around the other birds in the falconry. Elliot was attentive, kind, and a great guide. Nothing bad to say about the experience. I’ll be coming again!

    Had an experience day and loved every minute. The girls who took our experience were so knowledgeable and answered any questions we had before we even asked them. Their passion for the birds transferred over to us guests. Brilliantly hands on and definitely recommend!

    FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE This is an amazing place to visit. The birds are all looked after like royalty! Meeting 3 birds up close was something of a unique experience. Walking with a beautiful owl in woodland and watching it fly and return was so special. I think this was the best experience ever! Would highly recommend.

    Had Loki the Raven experience and it was awesome. The staff or should I say handlers were friendly and knowledgeable. Loki himself was cute and smart. Couldn't fault my experience.

    I flew a falcon and white owl with Emily and Luke. It was heaven. They were very knowledgeable. I booked at Hobbledown Heath. Make sure to get guest pass so your friend can take photos.

    Had a phenomenal time on an owl experience and brought some of the family along as spectators. Was a thoroughly enjoyed experience all round. Flew 3 different types of owls and we were in a small group (4 in total). Staff clearly loved their job and the birds and had a wealth of knowledge to share. Would highly highly recommend.

    Visited Coda falconry from Wales last weekend, with my friend for a meet Loki the Raven experience, It was amazing! :) Elliot and Sarah Jane made this an Incredible experience; both are very friendly warm people, and were full of interesting facts and funny stories. After following Loki and Elliot's Instagram account and YouTube channel for some time, it's so cool to see the two of them together in real life! Elliot has done amazing work with Loki's rehab, Loki is such a mischievous character! If you're a fan of these guys, I highly recommend a visit! While here I had the chance to help serve Loki's lunch, and Loki even delivered (via beak!) an invitation card to be best man at my best friend's wedding, which ranks up there as one of the coolest life experiences that I'll never forget! :D Sarah-Jane and Elliot were also doing a flying show that afternoon which we sadly missed as we had a reservation booked in London, but this would have definitely been amazing to watch! There are a variety of other birds at Coda, and Hobbledown heath has lots of activities to offer for both kids and adults; There are lamas, an indoor/outdoor jungle gym, zip lines and giant slides, a golf range and much more... if you are visiting with family, you could easily spend the whole day at the centre. Overall highly recommend a day here and will definitely return in the future, Thanks to the team at Coda and Loki T Raven for making this a great afternoon! Gwah!
