The Ancient Art of Falconry

Falconry Experience Of A Person

The ancient art of falconry right here in West Michigan.

Falconshire Raptors was founded for the care, conservation, and celebration of birds of prey. Out team has worked with a wide range of raptors, combining deep expertise with a passion for education and wildlife preservation.

Falconry dates back thousands of years-once practiced by emperors, kings, knights and even ladies based on their social class. However, falconry is not lost to history - today, it lives on through the efforts of dedicated falconers around the world and right here in West Michigan!

At Falconshire Raptors, we keep that tradition alive through education and respect for these incredible creatures.
