North East Falconry

- Hawk this way -

About us

We have close to 18 years experience in falconry, although North East Falconry was officially set up in 2016 by Glen Purves. We provide a number of unique falconry experiences. There's something for everyone, Whether you just want a gentle walk alone or with family flying a hawk on a Hawkwalk, Owl Experiences, or one of our Introduction To Falconry courses where you learn all the aspects of owning a bird of prey.

All of our courses are private experiences and are available to pay on the day or there's the option of presenting one of our experiences as gift voucher, which is great unique present for all.

North East Falconry is our business that deals with experience days and falconry shows. Our other business North East Falconry Limited is solely for our commercial bird control.



Hawkwalk

What happens on a Hawkwalk?

All of our falconry experiences are private. On a Hawkwalk we will take you for a gentle walk through beautiful woodland. During the walk we will be flying Hawks free. They will follow us along and we frequently call the bird down to your gloved hand. During the walk the falconer will tell you all about the birds of prey we are working with.

Extended falconry experience

What to expect?

On this extended Hawkwalk we will take you for a 1hr Private falconry experience. Once we have finished flying the hawks free, we will return to the starting point and get a number of other birds, such as falcons and owls to handle on your gloved hand.

Bird Control 

Bird Pest control,

Here at North East Falconry we have a proven track record in providing a discreet and a wide range of effective bird control services for all types of bird problems. 

From working at wide variety of sites including industrial sites, construction sites, office blocks, shopping centre’s, airports, farms, fisheries and ports. We recommend one of our falconers assess your site to fully understand the bird control problem. 

Typical bird control and bird deterrent measures we may use includes:

  • Bird control using proofing techniques such as netting, bird wire and bird spiking
  • Bird control using modern proofing techniques – electric or gel deterrents (ideal for listed buildings and historic buildings)
  • Bird scaring using our birds of prey as a natural deterrent, this is our most popular and effective service. 

The most common bird species that create bird control problems in the UK are gulls and pigeons.

 

Frequent bird problems we deal with include:

  • Bird fouling – deposits on buildings, solar paneling, cars, stock, rooftops, plant machinery or walkways can be a significant hazard and health and safety risk
  • Aggressive behaviour – very common during the nesting season (Mar – Sept)
  • Nesting in or on buildings – clogging drains, flues encouraging insect infestation
  • Noise – Some bird species are very loud, for example the gull calls can be disruptive to business or residential areas


Other problem bird species that come into conflict with businesses and organisations are canada geese, starlings and corvids (crows, rooks, ravens, jackdaws) which create health and safety issues, depositing bird mess and creating destruction wherever they go.
