The Eagles of Aure, Bird of prey zoo in Pailhac, France.
The Eagles of Aure is a bird park in the Aure Valley where eagles, vultures, falcons, and owls live in large enclosures. The facility sits within mountainous terrain and presents different species of raptors found in the area.
The facility was created to protect and conserve endangered raptor species through specialized breeding efforts. The project focuses on maintaining populations of birds that face threats in their natural habitats.
The bird demonstrations show how these raptors hold meaning in local traditions and how people work with them daily. Visitors can see the close relationship between humans and these birds that shapes life in the valley.
The park can be explored on foot with most areas being easily accessible to visitors. A typical visit takes about two hours to see all the enclosures and watch the demonstrations.
Visitors aged 14 and older can take part in day-long workshops where they learn to work directly with raptors. These programs mix classroom learning with actual hands-on experience with live falcons.
