Displays & Events
Bringing Birds of Prey to Your Event
From crowd-stopping free-flight displays at country shows to quiet, meaningful visits to schools and care homes — Bird of Prey Displays brings the wild to every kind of audience.
Every Display is Different. Every One is Unforgettable.
Steve Cross and his birds have performed at agricultural shows, village fetes, county fairs, school assemblies, care home afternoons, and private events across Shropshire and the West Midlands.
No two displays are the same. Whether you need a dramatic free-flight centrepiece for a 5,000-person show or a gentle, hands-on session for a group of ten, every appearance is tailored to your audience, your venue, and your brief.
What We Offer
