This is a fascinating place where you can watch vultures enjoying a snack, and herons tucking into their lunch. You can also see flying demonstrations by birds of prey (and even hold one, if you're brave enough!).

Care to share the joke, lads? If you can guess what the bird's just said to his keeper, email us now, and we'll put up the funniest suggestions on this page

One of the most popular displays is 'Valley of the Eagles' where eagles, kites and vultures fill the sky (watch out for low-flying bird poop!). Birds flying this year include Griffon Vultures, Bald Eagles, Brahminy Kites, Black Kites, and Bateleur Eagles.
