The Africa Show » What's it all about?! The Africa Show is designed to give visitors a real sense of an African hunting scene! The show begins with Annie the African Fish Eagle who demonstrates her natural behaviour and shows the crowd why this eagle is called 'The Voice of Africa' with her fantastic vocal skills! Next up is the Cheetah! This kind of demonstration cannot be seen anywhere else in the UK that we know of! The Cheetah is brought outside of his enclosure, taken to the top of the arena and attached to a zip-wire. Once the keepers are ready the Cheetah will then spot, chase and 'kill' his dinner! Finishing his sprint just a few feet in front of the crowd! This is not only fantastic stimulation for the Cheetah himself, but is also an unforgettable experience for children and adults alike! Next the scavengers are released! Completing the cycle of African life! Once the Cheetah has filled his tummy the scavengers come to dine! This consists of Vultures circling, Marabou Storks stealing scraps and Eagles dive-bombing the carcass! This show has been named one of the best wildlife shows in the UK The aim of this demonstration is to educate the general public about the ongoing conservation issues in Africa. We raise money annually for The Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia and other African Charities. We need to raise as much awareness as possible and we feel the best way to achieve this is by inspiring our visitors!

The Birds

Sybil - The Harris Hawk

She is used to explain what a Bird of Prey actually is along with the adaptations for the life that she leads.

Eyesight five times better than our own, far superior “flicker vision” to enable her to detect movements we would miss, short wings for rapid acceleration, huge tail for a rudder and grappling hook like feet to enable her overpower animals as well as birds.

 

Guinivere - The Lanner Falcon

 

The “Sky Hunter” designed to reach speeds of 200 mph so as to enable her to knock other birds out of the sky with her needle like back Talons before they have time to escape.

 

 

Alaska - The Bald Eagle.

 

This huge fish eagle is the American national emblem and is specially designed for snatching fish from the surface of the water with its Talons and then using her long broad wings to help her carry her heavy load.

 

  

 Casper - The Barn Owl. This is one of the most successful birds in the world. Especially designed to use his ears as well as his eyes this nocturnal predator will demonstrate how he can fly in “stealth mode” so as to remain undetected by the mice and voles on which he feeds.

 

 

If there is a specific bird of prey that your class are studying or that you feel would be more beneficial to your visit we are happy to discuss the possibilities with you. Please call us on 01322 866 577
