Bird Of Prey Vets  

Chris's involvement with Birds of Prey began in 1992 whe she became a volunteer/general dogsbody at a local Birds of Prey centre, going on to join and work for the Raptor Trust. She never intended to have a bird of her own.

However, in 1995 she was offered the opportunity to train and fly a male Kestrel to be used in the Trust's demonstrations. She went on to fly him for several years, making appearances at the Norfolk & Suffolk Shows, Norfolk Police Gala and various events throughout Norfolk & Suffolk.

Together with Clive, she has also taken birds to schools and adult groups for talks and demonstrations.

Although flying Kestrels remains her first love, Chris has also flown Harris Hawks & Little Owls and is at present training young Tyler ready for the 2005 show season and practising flying Herbert (when Clive lets her!).
