    Marty the lanner falcon (Alameda County Fair, Pleasanton)
    Annabelle R.

    Raptor Events put on an amazing bird show at the Alameda County Fair this past weekend (and will be continuing to do so multiple times daily through the fair's season). A half hour presentation educating visitors about the falcon, hawk, and owl... watch them fly from perch to perch around the bleacher seating and other structures in and around the fair, along with the trainer instructing them to do little tricks, but making it clear that the birds do need to adapt to the environment and crowds, nothing too crazy but still quite amusing and enjoyable. Mirabelle, the baby spectacled owl, was very cute. Luna the hawk caught a toy mid-air, returning it to the trainer for a reward. Marvin the owl showed us just how strong birds of prey are (the trainer also explained the massive amount of rats an owl eats, and how not using rat poisoning on rodents helps the preservation of owls). For the finale of the show, Marty the lanner falcon made an appearance then flew away and didn't come back, lol... Eyes followed as he flew from perch to higher perch, to even higher trees in the distance, the trainer's bird whistle not enough to get him to return. But he has a gps so the trainer would go get him after the show, no problem. As long as the birds are safe and handled with care, that's what matters. Such beautiful creatures I adored viewing up close. The show was fun and informative, and certainly something new and different at this fair (along with the canine stars stunt dog show which was situated right next to the bird show, but with staggered showtimes throughout the day). And if you're a really serious fan, you can hold a falcon for $20, or an owl for $50, at the Raptor Events tent.

    Jonathan was a pleasure to work with. He called me right away after I sent an inquiry to his business online. He quoted me pricing and worked around our school schedule to fit in all the grade levels (3 back to back assemblies in one day!). He was informative, his assistant Danica was knowledgeable and friendly - both were awesome interacting with our students TK - 5th grade. He brought a boa, cockroach, falcon, owl, bearded dragon, giant lizard (don't remember the name, sorry), chicken! The trained falcon flew around in a routine and got a HUGE response from the students. It was epic! I cannot recommend this business enough. Jonathan rocks!!!!!

    Ellie led a presentation of Ollie the owl and Avril the falcoln at my owl obsessed son's birthday party. Ellie arrived on time, called upon arrival, and quickly set up. She was so great with the kids, taught us some great things, and was so generous, patient, and kind towards everyone. We loved her! The birds were so cool, fun, and interesting. I will definitely be recommending Raptor Events to all of my friends! It was a core memory for sure!!

    Wow, Jonathan and the animals were amazing! I've done a retile show for a previous Bday party before but the birds of prey (Marty, Luna, Marvin) were unforgettable ! We learned soo much and and were able to interact and pet most of the animals Jonathan brought . Jonathan was very patient with everyone and took his time with the show . I highly reccomend hiring Raptor Events for your party . The birds were soo cool !

    My son is obsessed with raptors (birds of prey) so I was thrilled when I found this company online. They came to my son's 7th birthday party, and they were awesome! Our presenter was Danica. She was extremely knowledgeable and kept a large group of kids entertained throughout the presentation. There was a very interesting array of animals, including hawks a large owl, and some reptiles. We got the package that includes a full show and flying raptors, and my son loved it! The company was very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them for parties and other events.

    Thank you for a fun event at the studio! Everything with set up was a breeze. Lisa was kind and professional while handling the animals and in adapting to our space :-) thanks again!

    Raptor Events came to our children's school for science night and it was one of the best educational shows I've been to. The animals are beautiful and the education about conservation was very informative.

    Just wanted to say thank you to Raptor events for hosting a great show for my daughters 8th birthday party. It was definitely the highlight of the party. It was nice to have something out of the ordinary and my guests loved it as well! Will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

    The best reptile show ever. So informative and so patient with the kids and big kids (adults). Wore masks so we would feel safe as well. Such a great investment for entertainment. Everyone loved it. Thank you so much!!

    Karen was Amazing with the animals and kids. Everyone really enjoyed learning and interacting with the animals and reptiles.

    They did such a great job for my son's birthday party! The animals were so interesting and the kids loved holding the snakes and the birds! They were so patient through all the photo requests. Highly recommend!

    Amazing show ! Very educational and entertaining! Everyone loved all the animals! So much fun to see them in action did not expect it! Jonathan is very professional and showed up on time . Easy set up and all the animals are well trained. Thank you Jonathan for such an amazing experience:)

    This was the most awesome entertainment for a party! Jonathan was so informative and fun for the kids. The team brought so many friends with them to show and tell! There was a king snake, an albino one-eyed python, a ball python, a sand boa, a red-tailed boa, an iguana, a tortoise, a falcon, a buzzard, a hawk, and my favorite an owl! The team was very hands-on with everything except the larger birds such as the buzzard. The children were so excited and the adults were captivated. The company is very affordable and will set up in your backyard. I highly recommend this company.

I would usually see the same entertainers in children's party and I realized that I've never seen a magician at any of them. Booking was easy via email and his prices/packages are listed on the website. I had about 15-20 kids at my party and he did such an AMAZING job entertaining both children and adults! I went with 45 min magic show, 20 min balloon twist, and 20 min bubble show. Even though it was raining that day, Dave was very accommodating and communicated with me the different options for a bubble show in case he can't do it outside. He still made it happen and the kids had so much fun popping gigantic bubbles in the rain. I also appreciated how Dave's magic show was age appropriate with the smaller kids but still catered to the adults with a few magic tricks. I can't recommend him enough to other parents who are looking for a party entertainer. Thank you Dave for a memorable party!
