Whether it’s finding opportunities to start hands-on work with birds of prey, or the lack of a centralized platform for connections and resources, our aim is to bridge these gaps through this platform and promote Falconry across Australia.
There are various ways to lend support to our website dedicated to Australian raptors. You can help by submitting articles, sharing insightful information, or supplying photos and drawings of Australian raptors. If you’re inclined to contribute financially, tipping is a fantastic way to aid in the ongoing maintenance and development of the site. Your generosity directly assists in sustaining and enhancing our platform. Your tips will go directly to covering our yearly costs for the site, and once our costs are covered, will be saved and put towards a bird of prey rehabilitation aviary I plan to build here on the Sunshine Coast.
Starting my falconry journey at 15 in Australia with minimal opportunities and resources, I recognize the challenges enthusiasts face on where to begin.
I left Australia at 18 to live in Slovakia and learn Falconry. Ended up staying for 5 years, but have come back with my partner who is also an avid falconer, and our dream is to allow anyone with a passion for these birds the opportunity to learn the art of falconry.
