Cornish Birds of Prey CIC

2022

Covid-19

2020 – Thank you for the lessons, was certainly a year to remember!!!

2021 - It wasn't a great start, but as always 'things could only get better'.

2022 - Let's just wait and see how this year starts.......

During 2020 and 2021 - We were somehow living our best life and worst life all at the same time. It's so hard to try and explain. We had so much time and got so many jobs done. We would never have managed it if we were open to the public. We were however, closed down by the government, so had no regular money coming in to feed all our rescued birds and animals. Our supporters really stepped up and were and still are amazing.

We were also extremely fortunate to have been able to do it as a family and spend quality time together.

This is why we have decided to open 4 days a week to the public: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday 1st April - 31st Oct Open 11am – 4pm

Flying Displays at 12 noon and 2pm

NO ADVANCE BOOKING REQUIRED. JUST TURN UP AND PAY ON THE GATE.

We will of course be working the other three days, as when you have animals, there is never any down time.

It will not only give us more family time but it will also give us more time to get jobs done and move the centre forward.

Saving all the animals we do each year, won't change the world.......but it will change the world for the ones we do help.

About Us

At the Cornish Birds of Prey Centre, we are passionate about providing a caring home for mistreated, unwanted, injured and neglected birds of prey and other animals, whether from private owners or other zoo’s.

Many commercial centres breed and sell birds for profit to fund their organisation. This goes entirely against our ethos and only assists in creating a bigger problem. We are a nonprofit bird and animal Rescue Centre. In recent years the influence of movies, media and financially lucrative markets has increased the number of unwanted birds.

Our funding comes entirely from our generous visitors, sponsors and donors whose ticket purchases and contributions help us to keep the centre running all year round. We provide a permanent, caring safe haven for each and every bird or animal currently in our care now and in the future.
