This was an amazing "once in a lifetime" experience! We learned so much about the birds and to be able to handle them was such an exciting feeling. This is a wonderful opportunity for individuals, families, groups and I'd highly recommend it!! read more

We had an amazing time! Holly is very informative and lets you handle a lot of the birds. You can tell that they are well taken care of and I wouldn't hesitate to come back when I'm in the area again. 10/10 read more

We took our entire family of 7 to Wing Blade Falconry, and it was one of the coolest things we've ever experienced together! Our kids range in age from 7-20, and they were all able to participate equally and loved every minute of their interactions and learning experiences with the birds. We paid a bit extra to work with the falconer's golden eagle and I'm so glad we did. My kids will never forget it. Lots of new things learned and tons of memories were made - and a few of us left wanting to be falconers too. We'll be back with friends and family in the future! read more

Cannot believe I hadn't heard of this place till now. Got the 'Elite Immersive Falconry Experience' for my partner's birthday and it was incredible. We will definitely be back for Falconry 102 and I'll be bringing anyone I can to the intro group experience. If you've been on the fence, you have to check it out. Holly will teach you a lot about how the raptors hunt and kill and how their bodies are engineered. The handlers are very knowledgeable and you can tell who the favorite employees are amongst the birds by how they all individually interact. Seeing Sophia the saker falcon in action was incredible too. Pay extra for the VIP eagle experience if you can!! Absolutely breathtaking. We even got to stick around after and see the birds get a little extra fly time to burn energy and run their drills. Highly recommend!! read more

Wow! This was a fantastic experience. I have long been a fan of falconry, albeit from a distance. My husband booked this experience for us and it exceeded both of our expectations. Holly is so personable and has a great passion for both the history and tradition of falconry. Her story is fascinating. We learned so much from her regarding birds of prey & life in general! This experience is one I'd recommend to anyone interested in birds and connecting with wildlife as a whole. Holly has a very open spirit and shares her knowledge with great enthusiasm. Being able to look into the eyes of these beautiful creatures is so special...a great reminder of how all living things are connected. We had 7 other people in our group (9 total) and everyone got plenty of time to experience flying and handling the birds. Holly was very open to questions and very patient with us. The birds are not 'scary' at all and you can tell they have been cared for tremendously. There was absolutely no pressure to fly or handle the birds for those who were hesitant, Holly encouraged those who were afraid, but respected their fears. I only wish we lived in the area so that we could experience this regularly. We certainly will return when we are in the area. This was a wonderful memory maker for us! read more

What an enlightening experience! Holy was very instructive, preventing catastrophies to all the newbies! The birds were phenomenal and electrifying up close. We learned so much, it was truly unique! Getting there was easy, the weather was great but you're in the shade this time of year so a jacket was needed. Bought some nicely made earrings of feathers and a great T shirt in her gift shop. All in all a unique and memorable experience! read more

I am a frequent visitor to Nashville and my friend lives here and bought a Groupon as one of our adventures as she thought it sounded interesting. I thought it was a great experience even though I was a little nervous. Holly was very informative and a great instructor with a passion for birds and nature. If you are looking for something unique to do in Nashville, I recommend you come out and see Holly and her variety of birds. #supportlocal read more

This was the most amazing experience. Holly's knowledge and passion for these creatures was so evident. Our birds of prey experience was educational as well as entertaining and unique. Holding a burrowing owl, a kestral and a hawk eagle was incredible. We will definitely go back when we return to Nashville. read more

What a memorable experience to get to see these gorgeous and fascinating birds up close and personal. Wingblade Falconry is rustic and non-pretentious; Holly's personal path to falconry is inspiring, and my excitement with being near the birds was palpable. I highly recommend this. read more

This is truly an amazing experience for natives and tourists alike!  I have wanted to do a hands on experience with raptors for years, but hadn't been able to find a facility that would allow participants to actually handle the birds and have them fly to you.  This is that place. We had a large variety of beautiful birds and Holly is so passionate and knowledgeable.  This was the perfect blend of education and interaction, and it's an outstanding opportunity to engage with these magnificent birds.  I can't wait to do the other two experiences. read more

so much fun! very unique experience. all the birds were so neat to play with and learn about

AMAZING experience, one of the best days of my life. I'm an avid "Birder" from Florida and I learned SO much. Holly is a fabulous "teacher" when it comes to the history of Falconry, I monitor eagle nests for Audubon but would never have imagined being able to have an eagle land on my arm. I am speechless. read more

We had an amazing time today at Wing Blade! Holly is an expert, clearly loves the birds, and will show you everything to love about them, too. You'll first learn about the birds as you safely hold a couple of them (including tiny Dart, my favorite!) and then Holly will show you how they hunt, both with lures and then by having you hold food in your gloved hand. I highly recommend this class--we're both adults but kids would absolutely love it, too. We'll be back next time we're in Nashville to take the next class! read more

My Best friends and I took the Falconry 101, and it was amazing! Not only did we learn a lot about the birds but also got a hands on experience with some of them! Not only did we learn about Holly, and the history and capabilities of the birds, but I have a newfound curiosity and admiration of it all! We will definitely be back! Thanks for the great experience! read more

BEST experience ever!!! Did the Falconry 101 and held an Ornate Eagle and owl - flew a hawk and so much more! This is a once in a lifetime experience you will not regret! They also do private events and advanced interactions. Very educational and special. Highly recommend!! read more

Holly has set up a really cool experience with the falconry 101. Start by learning a little bit about the birds and falconry while handling a few of the birds while you listen. Then take them out to fly! Tons of chances to take photos with the birds, handle them, and watch them fly. I took my husband as a surprise date and he's hooked. We'll be back for falconry 102 and possibly even an afternoon hunt with the birds. If you're in the middle Tennessee area this is a very unique way to spend an afternoon. read more

Holly is terrific with her guests as well as with the raptors. She makes sure each person gets to hold each bird. She is a wealth of information. It's obvious she knows how to treat each bird with kindness, humor and expertise. Wing Blade Falconry is a short drive from Nashville. If you are ever in the area, make a point of checking it out. read more

If you're looking for an immersive and educational experience, this is the place to be. Interact with beautiful birds of prey in a peaceful setting. read more

My 13-yo daughter and I took Falconry 102 Follow A Falconer with Holly in February. We spent 3-4 hours handling several types of birds of prey--falcon, eagle, owl, and a crow--and she let us help prepare their food and fly them. It was an unforgettable experience and definitely worth every penny! read more

Our homeschool group received a one-on-one falconry lesson at Wing Blade Falconry yesterday. It was an amazing experience for all who attended! I felt like it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most people. The children received a very interesting lesson about birds of prey and were able to hold and pet different amazing and beautiful birds. Then we went to the field where the birds put on a show of flying around and coming to the handler, or in several cases, to the children who were setup with leather gloves! Beautiful experience and spectacular birds I had never seen before. Highly recommend! read more

Wing Blade Falconry was an amazing experience. It was something I've never seen before or could imagine. We were able to attend a group setting. I learned so much about the history of falconry, how the birds of prey were used for hunting, and their super powers. Holly was a great host with a vast knowledge of these beautiful animals. Each of us were able to handle and fly a couple of the birds. I handled 6 or 7 myself! This was absolutely too cool! I met Holly when a couple hired her services for a wedding I planned. The wedding was an experience in itself. We had an owl walk the rings down the aisle, the dove send off at the ceremony and a photo session with the birds of prey. I had to learn more, so we attended the flying experience. It was way more than I expected in terms of the education and what we were able to do. Book Wing Blade Falconry today!! Great for birthdays, gift cards, team outings, adventures, nature lovers, experiences, weddings / events... Thanks Holly! read more

Our experience at Wing Blade Falconry was fantastic. Holly took the time to not only educate us, but gave us an amazing experience. Her story is awesome and she puts on a great program. I would highly recommend Wing Blade Falconry! read more

The experience with Holly and Wing Blade Falconry was exceptional! This was a surprise for me, and I had no idea what I was walking into. However, it was SUCH a cool experience. Holly really has a heart for her birds, and for educating people about them and the history of Falconry. You'll get to learn all about it while handling some of the birds, help prepare food if you want, watch them dive and catch bait, and then you get to experience what it's like for them to fly to you and land on your gloved hand. One of the coolest experiences I've had, no doubt. I'll for sure go back for the 102 experience as well. Just book the session...you won't regret it! read more

Great time, it's amazing to see these animals up-close. Unbelievable
