Hawk Conservancy Trust, Bird conservation center in Test Valley, England
The 22-acre woodland site exhibits 130 birds of prey, including owls, vultures, and eagles across natural habitats and dedicated display areas.
The center started as Weyhill Zoo in the 1950s before Reg and Hilary Smith transformed it into the Hawk Conservancy Trust in 1980.
The National Bird of Prey Hospital within the facility rehabilitates injured raptors and returns them to their natural environments when possible.
Visitors can watch three daily flying demonstrations, participate in owl encounters, and explore the grounds from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM every day.
Researchers at the center conducted studies on a secretarybird's kicking abilities to understand extinct bird species and develop robotic applications.
