We’ve done it all, I think… First, we went to see the show. Yes, it’s in Danish, but you get a card with translations, and most of the jokes are easy to follow because they’re visual. Little tip: sit in the front rows — they hand out gloves so you can also hold a bird during the show. Most people who got to do that were sitting in the front.
The only thing we didn’t like was the condor. It’s a really big bird and has to be on a leash. The bird tried to approach the public, but for obvious reasons that’s not allowed. Still, it looks a bit sad with one leg tied. Also, some children were petting the owl, and as fun as that may seem, it’s not really good for the owl’s feathers. But overall, this is still a big 5-star place to visit — the people who work here are really good to the birds!
After that, we took the bison safari on the farm. It’s not that long — you sit in a farm wagon and stop at a few places. You get some information, also in Danish, but just like the show, they give you a sheet with all the info so you can follow along. And they speak very good English, so you can ask them anything. After the ride, The Falcon Man came up to us and asked if we had any questions — great safari!
Then we also did the VIP tour, where you fly a Harris’s hawk and take a stroll around the bison field. This was worth all my money! We went with Isabella and the hawk Loki. She told us a lot about the hawk and shared some cool facts about nature as we walked. If you’re lucky, the hawk might catch something — it’s a form of hunting. The catch that day was a worm and two frogs! Yum! If you have the time and money, definitely take this walk. (Sorry Isabella for putting my bag on the wrong way!)
And we also walked the path of the owls into the forest — this is a free experience at the farm, but if you like owls, you’ll fall in love at the end of this path.
So really, go here — it’s worth...
Read moreThe Silkeborg Rovfugleshow was an outstanding experience!
This family-operated show exudes professionalism and passion, with the owners clearly devoted to their birds and sharing that love with the audience.
As the only English-speaking guests, we appreciated the English transcripts provided for both the bird show and the Bison safari, which made the experience accessible and enjoyable.
The bird show and safari were not only entertaining but also struck a perfect balance between informative content and humour.
Set in stunning countryside, this is truly a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a...
Read moreVil blot sige 1000 tak for et i alle henseender fantastisk spændende, interessant og spektakulært rovfugleshow, som vi fulgte i lørdags d. 24. august. Vi havde inviteret vores familie fra Svendborg med og bedre underholdning kunne simpelthen ikke opnås. Min fætter, som i mange år som ingeniør har arbejdet med faunaen ved Svendborg kommune, er naturligvis qua sit arbejde voldsomt interesseret i fugle – jeg må sige, han var dybt overrumplet over, hvor godt det var. Et show, hvor man kunne forstå, hvad der blev sagt (talte højt og tydeligt), et show med humor og enorm viden, et show med fantastiske fugle og vidunderlige omgivelser …..hold da op… top top professionelt til fingerspidserne. Brochurerne bliver nu delt ud rundt om på Fyn – og familien fra Svendborg vender tilbage med HELE familien næste år, børn og børnebørn – og vi selv kommer også igen – og formidler naturligvis videre via Facebook og andet. Også tak til alle de mennesker, der via Facebook har reklameret for jeres formidable show!! Der er virkelig mange, der er lige så begejstrede som vi. Hold da op, hvor er det fortjent. Og jeres hjemmeside er utrolig professionel.
Masser af venlige hilsner Bente...
