Encounter remarkable raptors in native bushland at Western Australia’s largest bird of prey sanctuary. Meet eagles, hawks, falcons and owls while learning about the conservation work protecting these incredible species.
Your visit includes a twice-daily Bird of Prey Encounter, where expert guides share insights into their behaviour, hunting skills and unique adaptations. Watch them soar through the flight arena and enjoy the chance to have your photo taken with an owl.
Explore further on a self-guided 1 km bush walk through tranquil forest, discovering aviaries home to resident birds with stories of rescue, rehabilitation and sanctuary care. We provide lifelong care for birds that can’t return to the wild and successfully release many others each year. In spring, the trail is alive with wildflowers and orchids.
