Experience a Private Owl Encounter at the Zoo of the Pyrenees
The Owls Experience is an amazing experience which will improve teamwork and trust among the people who participate.
The Owl Experience is a private activity in which you will discover what happens when you slow down, truly live in the present moment and learn to relate to a wild animal from calm and emotional connection.
You don’t come here to look. You come to be, to feel and see how an owl responds to you.
For some, this experience is fulfilling a dream they’ve imagined for years. For many others, it’s the moment they understand why owls evoke such a special feeling.
How the Experience Begins
You’ll learn how to move around you and what attitude an owl needs to feel comfortable around you. Owls don’t respond to commands or being rushed. They respond to your calmness, your presence, and how you are when you’re in front of them.
When Contact Happens
Each person in the group has their moment. First individually. Then, by sharing the experience with others. The owls begin to fly from hand to hand, not because they are forced, but because they trust.
The Closing of the Experience
The finale comes with the encounter with the Eurasian eagle-owl, the largest nocturnal bird of prey in the world. An intense and silent moment. One of those moments that defies easy description and is remembered for a long time.
Why This Experience is Different
- Owls don’t lie.
- If something doesn’t fit, they walk away.
- If you are present, they approach.
That’s why this experience isn’t just about animals. It’s about trust and sharing something authentic with the people around you.
Who is With You?
Throughout the experience you will be accompanied by Stania, founder of the Pyrenees Zoo, who will be by your side every step of the way, guiding you and taking care of the well-being of the animals and people.
More Info
-
We recommend the children to be over the age of 6. However, the owls experience is 100% personalized and we adapt to any age of the participants.
-
Owls are not pets and you need to know how to treat them properly. In the owls experience, you will be accompanied by Stania, the park director. Before entering in contact with each animal, Stania will explain how to work with them and monitor your experience. You will be equipped with professional falconer tools.
If an animal scares you a bit and you decide not to interact with it, there is no problem. Please read the general rules of the Zoo of the Pyrenees before coming to visit us.
-
Keep in mind that birds of prey eat raw meat, so you’ll need to touch it during the owl experience. If raw meat is unpleasant you we recommend not participating in this experience.
-
The owls experience can’t be done indoors in case of bad weather. If you have purchased tickets and the weather forecast does not look good you can request a refund or request a change of day.
Animals Participating in the Owls Experience
The birds you work with are animals that, due to altered behavior or a chronic illness (such as osteoarthritis), are unable to return to nature. Elder animals also take part. These specimens would have no chance of surviving in the wildlife.
Daily training and contact with people is a beneficial condition for their physical and mental health. You will help keep their life in captivity entertained and rich.
