The Falconry Centre

The Falconry Centre is located about an hour's drive north of Toronto. It features over 200 raptors which includes eagles, hawks, falcons, owls and vultures. The birds are primarily used for the art of falconry, though members of the public are more than welcome to tour the Falconry Centre. Here you can learn the art of falconry itself.
