Raptors and owls live

Flight shows and nature conservation in Dorf Tirol near Meran: Injured and helpless wild birds found anywhere should be taken to the care center for bird life. They will be healed and - if possible - discharged into nature.

Operating hours spring 2012: march 4, 11, 18, 25, flight show at 3.00 p.m.

We hope you'll enjoy your visit to the Center, which offers a birds - of - prey education path, a wildlife adventure and daily flight shows at 11.15 a.m. & 3.15 p.m. (winter: at 3.00 p.m.).

Raptors and owls close up,

look them straight into the eye, so to speak - that is the particular charm. What you may already know from different and usually really well-made television documentaries, you will experience completely new when visiting our nursing. Live performance is just something completely different, and, finally, you can also ask questions answered by our experienced falconers.

The three bird experts Willy, Florian and Helga take care for their charges. They all are also involved in the daily flight shows moderated by Florian in german and italian language.

Since 1989 the Birds Caring Centre near Castle Tyrol has been working successfully for bird protection by private venture.
