About school visitsWho we are
The people behind Avian Heritage
Avian Heritage is a small falconry business in North Wales, run by two people: Wayne, who brings the falconry expertise and the birds, and Iva, who looks after bookings and enquiries.
Wayne Davis
Falconer
Wayne is the falconer behind Avian Heritage. He has worked with birds of prey for more than 40 years and provides the falconry expertise and the birds for every experience and visit.
Iva
Bookings & enquiries
Iva manages bookings, enquiries and customer communication. When you get in touch, Iva is the person who will reply and confirm the details with you.
Our approach
Welfare comes first, every time
Our birds are not performers. Each one is an individual, and their wellbeing decides what happens on the day.
Bird participation and flying are always subject to the individual bird, welfare considerations, weather, environmental conditions and suitability on the day. If a bird isn't right to fly, it won't — and we'll explain why. We think understanding that is part of learning about birds of prey.
Our birds
Meet the birds of prey
Our hawks and falcons each have their own name, species and character — from Circe the Harris's hawk to Socrates the peregrine falcon.
