Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.

Visited today for a meet the owl experience. Had a fantastic time. Adele was my guide and she was so knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm for the birds. She and the owls made one of my dreams come true and that I am truly grateful. Well worth a visit.

Amazing day out at the Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre. We booked a last minute "meet the birds experience" for two, which was worth every penny.
We started off by watching the 1130 flying display by Kevin and Adele, which was informative and interesting- the show was stolen by Gonzo, a gorgeous 19 week old spectacled owl who was clearly still getting the hang of things - in a very comedic way!
We then had our meet the birds experience - handling 4 birds from Dink the Kestrel to Orla the golden Eagle, and flying a further 2 including Cargottow the African owl.
Adele was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all our questions, and you could see the passion that all the keepers had for the animals, and the bond the birds had with them.
We also had time to watch the second flying show with a different line up - who knew that Eagle owls were such good runners?
There are several other birds to see in the centre, with information boards on the species and how they arrived at the centre( lots are rescue birds), and a small education building with further information and activities for children.
The staff are very happy to answer questions and tell you the history of each bird.
Would highly recommend a visit - we will certainly be returning next time we are in the area!

My very close friend runs and owns this lovely place and my daughter and I visited twice during our short trip to Scotland. As usual, we were made to feel extremely welcome and had a first class visit. I recently sponsored the three Red Footed Falcons (Snap, Crackle and Pop..great names) and my daughter and I have a joint sponsorship of "Gonzo" the baby Spectacled Owl. I'm also lucky enough to have a sponsorship with the beautiful Orla, the Golden Eagle. The Centre is well run, well kept and the birds all look amazing thanks to a dedicated group of people. The Flying Shows are fun and very interesting thanks to the very knowledgeable Bird Handlers. Each show offers a different experience. The Education Cabin is worth a look with lots of interesting display items and facts. Pop into the Shop too where there is a good range of products to purchase for the young to the older visitors (check out the pewter bird of prey pins ☺️). The Centre is easily found, based at Loch Lomond Shores and if you are in the area please visit...you won't be disappointed. I'm extremely proud to be able to support this gem of a place and will continue do so.

Dearest Val. It was a pleasure to see you and Lisa, as always. I greatly value your friendship and support over the years, especially over the last twelve months, ;-) Your sponsorships are greatly appreciated, and I hope you get as much pleasure and satisfaction from being part of the centre as I do, having you involved.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and your kind words, you describe the centre exactly as I want people to view it, and you recognise the committment and dedication of our staff. Yes, the pewter pins were a fantastic addition to the range, thanks to you, :-)
You are most welcome here any time, we all feel you are becoming part of the "crew", and appreciate your continued committment to us and the centre. You are a very special lady and continue to amaze me with how much you support me and offer advice. I look forward very much to seeing you next time. Thank you once again for your lovely review.

We did the flying experience today and despite the rain, we had a great time. The centre is well laid out and spotlessly clean, they have a wide selection of birds from all over the world on display and you can see how well they are cared for.
Adele who did the flying experience with us was friendly, very informative and clearly very passionate about the welfare of the birds.
We will be back for sure.

Me and my partner came through on 26.09.23 and we were absolutely blown away by the meet the owls experience. Kevin was our presenter/keeper of the owls and he was incredibly knowledgeable, mixing display of flying and information about the owls he was showing us. I was blown away. No words I could write match the enthusiasm, passion and pride the keepers here have for their birds. I highly recommend this to anybody even curious about birds of pray. These guys take care of their animals and ensure that these birds do what they would normally do in the wild. Thank you Kevin for dedicating so much time to talk to us, and dedicating your life to ensuring survival and well-being for these beautiful birds. 100/10.
P.S. Kevin's dad; make sure he reads this. I appreciated every second he spent with us and I hope you're very proud. Also Kevin, I hope your Ray-Ban sponsorship comes through 🤞

Hi, it was good to catch up with you in the days after the experience. Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, and your comments about Kevin. I'm sure he will read this (and ask for more money, :-)
We are so pleased you enjoyed the whole day here, and meeting some of our owls.
We hope you had a safe trip home, take care.

We went for the full bird of prey experience the price seems steep but it is well worth it and will recommend it, we have already decided on returning again in the future, their is plenty of variations of big birds and some cute little one's. The staff are brilliant and knowledgeable with each species. It rained on the afternoon we was there but it didn't stop us enjoying it to the fullest.

Great centre with a wide range of native and exotic birds of prey. The flying show is informative and great fun, was awesome to see a New Zealand Karearea next to a Golden Eagle. Owls are super cute. Highly recommended!

We had a great experience at the Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre! There was a bit of a mix up with booking times but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Honestly cannot recommend this place enough. The staff are amazing and so knowledgeable and passionate. It’s a great opportunity to meet and get up close to some really unique birds of prey. The experiences and flying shows are especially worth doing.

Die Vögel sind angebunden an einer kurzen Leine an einem Pflock. Jeder Versuch sich fortzubewegen, endet abrupt, wenn sie von der Leine zurück gerissen werden. Alles, was ihnen bleibt ist etwas zu flattern oder zu hüpfen. Sie haben z.T. keine Volieren und keine Rückzugsmöglichkeiten.
Leider scheint das gesetzlich erlaubt zu sein, aber es kann es nicht artgerecht sein! Wir waren alle schockiert von dieser Haltung.

Another German review, obviously a friend of the other person who provided a review based on ignorance.
"The birds are tied to a peg on a short leash. Any attempt to move ends abruptly when they are pulled back from the leash. All they can do is flutter or hop. Some of them have no aviaries and no places to retreat.
Unfortunately, this seems to be allowed by law, but it can't be species-appropriate! We were all shocked by this attitude."
As with your friend, I will state the obvious. You have no knowledge or experience to provide comments on how birds of prey are managed. For your information, we are regarded as having some of the highest standards of husbandry and animal welfare in the country. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, unfortunately most negative opinions come from the ignorant, such as this one.
Wie bei Ihrem Freund werde ich das Offensichtliche sagen. Sie verfügen weder über Kenntnisse noch über Erfahrung, um Kommentare zum Umgang mit Greifvögeln abzugeben. Zu Ihrer Information: Wir gelten als Unternehmen mit den höchsten Standards in Sachen Haltung und Tierschutz im Land. Jeder hat das Recht auf eine Meinung, leider kommen die meisten negativen Meinungen von Unwissenden, wie diese hier.

Fürchterlich!
Die armen Vögel sind an super kurzen Leinen und können sich nicht mal ein Meter bewegen ich hab mehrfach gesehen das die vögel unbedingt weg fliegen wollten und sich die Fußfesseln auf beißen wollten das ist Tierquälerei also wenn sie das nicht unterstützen wollen gehen sie da nicht hin!!

For those that read English, this is a translation.
Terrible!
The poor birds are on super short leashes and can't even move a meter. I've seen several times that the birds really wanted to fly away and bite their ankles. That's animal cruelty, so if you don't want to support that, don't go there! !
My response. "I wish people like you would ask questions if they have concerns. This review is clearly based on a complete lack of knowledge and understanding of birds of prey in captivity. It is not animal cruelty. This comment shows your ignorance. As I said, you should have asked questions. It shows how ridiculous your review is when you compare it to the hundreds of very positive reviews we receive. Next time, take the time to read the information and ask, instead of making stupid remarks base on a complete lack of knowledge."
„Ich wünschte, Leute wie Sie würden Fragen stellen, wenn sie Bedenken haben. Diese Rezension basiert eindeutig auf einem völligen Mangel an Wissen und Verständnis über Greifvögel in Gefangenschaft. Es handelt sich nicht um Tierquälerei. Dieser Kommentar zeigt Ihre Unwissenheit. Wie gesagt: Sie hätten Fragen stellen sollen. Es zeigt, wie lächerlich Ihre Bewertung ist, wenn Sie sie mit den Hunderten sehr positiven Bewertungen vergleichen, die wir erhalten. Nehmen Sie sich das nächste Mal die Zeit, die Informationen zu lesen und nachzufragen, anstatt dumme Bemerkungen zu machen, die auf einem völligen Mangel basieren des Wissens."

When we went due to bird flu restrictions they where not flying and also they where building a new area for them to do fly shows. Having spoke to owner not sure when this was but if you ring them the owner was brilliant and would give you a true picture

It has come to my notice that every now and again some people complain about these wonderful birds of prey being tethered to their perches. Do they honestly expect to see Eagles, buzzards and Hawks flying around and not disappearing into the distance? It also astonishes me that the centre is currently sitting at 91% on Tripadvisor, so are the other 91% of people wrong in their views? Perhaps someone can get back to me with an answer?

Their enclosures are spotless and the birds are clearly all in excellent health. People who complain clearly have no idea about actual bird behavior and do expect the birds to be simply flying free - not at all sure how that would work. The birds are on short tethers when outside on their perches. You can also purchase bird experiences to actually go hunting with the birds - so clearly they are not simply tied up for their entire lives. The smaller birds have no problems in getting lots of flight time - should they want it - in their enclosures. I'm quite sure that the people who complain about the short tethers are the same ones who would complain if the birds were in such large enclosures that they couldn't easily be seen...

Hi Linda,
Throughout the year there are a number of organised bird watching activities. If you contact Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, I am sure they will give you a list of planned activities.
Within the Bird of Prey Centre, our wildlife station receives wild birds every day. Over 24 species of wild birds can be seen on the feeders and in the surrounding area.
If I can be of further assistance, please contact me through the contact page on the website for Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre.
Regards,
Stewart Robertson,
Director.
