8. For centuries falcons have been trapped from the wild for the art of falconry. Today, the majority of falcons used in the art are captive bred. Our falcon chambers were designed to allow breeding pairs of falcons seclusion while allowing you the opportunity to view their natural breeding cycle. This was accomplished by utilizing a one-way mirror system where you can see the birds but they cannot see you. When you enter the falcon chambers you will travel down a raised hallway with windows on each side. You will be able to view endangered species such as the Peregrine Falcon, Gyrfalcon and Lugger Falcon brooding their eggs or feeding their young, totally oblivious to your presence. To see a Peregrine Falcon feeding its chicks is an experience you will long remember. In addition to the many species of falcons in the falcon chambers, we also use the chambers to breed a secretive forest hawk called the Goshawk. While the falcons cannot see you, they can hear you. For this reason we asked that you be fairly quiet while in this building. In addition to natural breeding, we do artificially incubate some eggs and raise the young. When the young birds leave the brooders they go to the outdoor nursery, marked number 9, click here.
