Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the falconry class?

A: Yes, there is an age limit. The class is suitable for participants aged 10 and up. If you're looking to bring a younger child, they might need to be accompanied by an adult. Just call ahead to confirm if special arrangements can be made.

Q: What should I wear to the falconry class? Any recommendations?

A: Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes since you'll be outside with the birds. A hat is also a good idea to protect from the sun, as some parts of the demo are outdoors. Layers are recommended since it can get a bit windy in Colorado Springs.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Do they cancel the class?

A: If the weather is really bad, they do have the option to reschedule. They'll typically notify you the day before if there's a major concern, but good weather is essential for the birds to fly. Just keep an eye on your email or give them a call if you're worried.

Just did the falconry class and it was incredible!

I took the Colorado Springs Hands-On Falconry Class last weekend, and wow, what an experience! Getting to hold a trained falcon on my glove was surreal. The instructor was super knowledgeable, and seeing the birds in action during the flying demonstration was unforgettable. If you're considering this as a gift, I highly recommend it!

Thinking about gifting the falconry class to my dad, any thoughts?

My dad loves birds of prey and I've been eyeing this Colorado Springs falconry class for his birthday. Just checking if anyone has done it? What was your favorite part? I'm hoping it’ll be a memorable gift for him, but I wanna know if he’d really enjoy it!
