Fantastic visit. All the of prey were in great condition,plenty of space for each bird. Flight was amazing. Also had the chance of a with a Bold Eagle😁 Very well kept zoo! This place is super cool! It was a great way to spend a few hours on the weekend. Good place , but we missed the with the birds. And without that the is just a regular zoo with a lot of birds. Though there were several birds, which we haven't met before. I've had a feeling that the cages are small for some of the . Maybe I am wrong. Otherwise interesting place to visit but not something which you cannot miss. Beautiful kept in nice habitats. There are shows to demonstrate some of the trained birds. Excellent park. The couple who run it obviously care for their and have a well run place. We even managed to communicate the chance to hold a couple of birds. 😊 Visiting the was a birthday gift for my boyfriend because his favorite animal is the eagle. Unfortunately, the flying only starts in April, and his birthday was on May 14th. However, they made it possible for him to hold a bald eagle on his arm, which was an unforgettable experience! The has many different birds, including some very beautiful and unique ones that you may have never seen before. I called ahead to organize everything, and they were very kind. We had agreed that I would pay later since it was a surprise gift for my boyfriend—I didn’t want him to know the cost. The woman from Owner agreed that we could enter the first, and I would come back alone to pay. Unfortunately, when we arrived, she seemed to change her mind and asked me to pay in front of my boyfriend, which spoiled the surprise a little. Aside from that, I highly recommend the park! The place isn’t very big, with kept in cages. Mostly owls. On regular days there are no shows, and no food or drink seller. The place is clean, and the toilet is free. You can take a with a on your hand for 10 Euros It's a great place for those who love seeing those rare charmkngly beautiful ! Giving u a once in a lifetime experience to actually hold an eagle or an owl in ur hands for a (ofcourse for additional fees!). They even make shows on weekends not sure if friday too. The reason It's 4 ☆ and not 5☆ is because there are no shows in foreign languages for tourists to understand and they don't offer a photo, so u basically pay to take ur own phone photo. Plus u don't get to choose the u would like to take a with, options are limited to 2. Its a nice park. Perfect with the family with kids The birds, even a condor, here live in small cages, looking sad, stressed, and restless. If the owner truly loves birds, why keep them in small cages while others outside live freely? There is no clear explanation anywhere about the park’s purpose, are they breeding, rescuing, or rehabilitating birds? Or is it simply a personal hobby turned into a business, as their own website suggests? The “bird show” feels irresponsible, unprofessional and unsafe, and you even have to pay extra for it. For two people, the entrance plus was CHF 52, which is extremely expensive for such a small and a poor-quality performance. During the show, raw meat is thrown among the audience to make the fly close or land near people. This is dangerous, these are still wild animals with large claws. In fact, a child was scratched on the head when a stressed rushed past. When a approached the trainer for more food instead of performing, he roughly pushed or kicked him away with his foot, then tried to cover it with jokes. I felt so bad and guilty after leaving the park. Beautiful variety of owls and of prey. Cute and entertaining with the possibility to hold an eagle or owl thereafter for a small surcharge. Nothing huge or overprofessionalized, simple but worthwhile.
