Training Animals for Film & Television

We have been involved in numerous filming sessions with birds and animals. All the birds are fully winged and all are trained using positive reinforcement.

Although many of our animals travel extremely well, we will not hesitate to turn down an offer if we feel that the animal or bird's welfare would be compromised. We always prefer to accommodate film crews on our site which makes the birds much more relaxed and gives the film crews unsurpassed filming opportunities.

All of the items featured below were filmed on site at Paradise Park, Hayle.

Productions which have used our birds or animals;

“Hi David. Thank you so much to you, Kirsty and Louise for all of your help and of course a big thank you to the real stars, the birds!! I am really pleased with all that we managed to achieve in a day. We all felt very privileged to have been able to get so close to some truly awesome birds who are all clearly so well looked after. Thanks again David for a really memorable shoot.”
