From all of us here at The Eyrie, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays!

Wow!

21/12/2024

People often ask us how close they're likely to get to the birds during our photo shoots - hopefully this answers the question!

Oswald got a little curious last week and wanted to see what all the fuss was about

Well, looks like winter is finally showing up! And based on the forecast for the next 10 days, it looks like it's here to stay!

We still have some room in December 14th's photography session. Learn more and sign up at www.theeyrie.ca/photography

LAST MINUTE SPOTS

Unfortunately, we've had some guests cancel their spots last minute for this Sunday's photography session, so we have a few extra spots available if anyone is interested!

Send us an email at [email protected] to grab your spots. $65+HST per participant

As an additional note, this weekend's on-site programming will be our Black Vulture Lilith's LAST public appearance of the year, so if you wanted to get some shots of her, this weekend will be your last chance until next spring/summer!

Our hearts go out to The Toronto Zoo with the passing of Charles the Lowland Gorilla

Charles lived an absolutely astounding 52 years - far far longer than their wild counterparts, and longer even than many other Gorillas in zoos

He was truly a highlight to visit, and the Toronto Zoo's Gorilla pavilion has always been one of our favourite spots in the whole zoo

We'll miss you, Charles!

Oswald's training is coming along nicely - he's flying the length of our show area with almost zero hesitation, although he's still mastering the landing on the glove portion of things!

We still have some spots left in our upcoming photography session, and don't forget we have our final on-site show of the year next weekend!

AN UPDATE ON TOMORROW'S DEMONSTRATIONS

We've been keeping an eye on the forecast, and unfortunately the outlook is not good - our area seems to be expecting heavy rain and lightning storms throughout the day.

Rather than have people come here and then having to cancel mid-show, we've made the decision to call off our demonstrations tomorrow for both our birds' and our guests' safety.

Stay tuned, we'll be announcing another round of on-site programming soon!

01/10/2024

A difference of 11 weeks!

Oswald sure has gone through quite the change since we picked him up 11 short weeks ago!

28/09/2024

One of my favourite times of year down in Port Hope! Look closely, how many vultures can you count??

13/09/2024

I guess September is a month of traveling back in time for us!

Catch us this weekend, September 14 & 15 at the Fairy & Iron Renaissance Faire in Milton

Then, on Saturday September 21st, you can find us at the Royal Medieval Faire in Waterloo

Finally, on September 28 & 29th, we'll be at Oxford Renaissance Festival at its brand new location!

Where will we see you??

OCTOBER PROGRAMMING

Hi folks! We're looking ahead to October, and although it's already starting to fill up, we wanted to ensure some time was slated for some public programs - especially while the fall colours are out!

DEMONSTRATIONS
On Sunday, October 6th, we'll be hosting 2 educational demonstrations (10:30am & 1pm). These one hour shows are a great way to get acquainted with some of our team members while also learning about the incredible raptors that live both in Canada and across the globe! While you do not *need* to pre-register for these shows, signing up ahead of time gives us a good sense of how many people to expect and also allows you to be contacted in case we need to make alternate arrangements.

PHOTOGRAPHY
On Saturday, October 5th, we'll be running a public photography session. These 2 hour sessions allow you to photograph several raptors in natural settings. Photography sessions are pre-registered and are capped at 12 participants, so make sure you sign up soon!

Learn more and sign up at www.theeyrie.ca/visit

See you then!

Little Oswald isn't so little anymore!

04/09/2024

Hi folks!

We've had several people reach out to us about on-site programming for the month of September

After a packed summer, our birds are in need of some R&R, as well as some time to moult out their feathers, so we've decided to not run any programming this month. We still do have a couple of off-site programs that we will attend, but otherwise we're going to use September to give our birds some much needed time off and to catch up (and get ahead) on maintenance

We're looking ahead to October and will be announcing some on-site programming soon, so stay tuned!

27/08/2024

Come catch us at the Saint John Exhibition every day until Saturday, three shows a day!

I think Oswald is telling us he's ready for his own room soon... At just 7 weeks old, he's quickly developing the muscles required for sustained flight, and within a few more weeks, he'll be completely able to fly as an adult owl would! Raptors have an accelerated growth rate as young to help them gain independence faster - the quicker they grow, the sooner they can leave the nest, allowing them to depend on themselves for their food as opposed to hoping their parents can find enough food for themselves as well as all the young in the nest. The catch 22 is that to grow that fast, they need to eat a significant amount of food, meaning the parents are VERY busy for the first few months!

Uhmmmm?? Can someone tell me when little baby Oswald got switched out for this OWL??? Learning how to fly already????

Something pretty cool for your Monday afternoon! The other day, we were candling our Kestrel eggs and saw some movement in one! This little Kestrel is growing fast, and if all goes well, they should be hatching soon We still have some space left in our photography session this coming Saturday afternoon, and we'll have an open to the public show at 10:30am on the Saturday, too - learn more at www.theeyrie.ca/visit
