The falconer Mario takes good care of the 110 owls and screech owls living in the Owl Park of San Vigilio
Image gallery: Owl Park San Vigilio
The Owl Park in San Vigilio in Val Badia is situated near the "Spiaggetta Ciamaor" and is home to many different birds of prey. Five out of the seven species recorded in South Tyrol live in complete freedom in the Fanes-Sennes-Braies nature park. The owl park only accommodates native European species from breedings and birds of prey needing care.
The falconer Mario shares his expertise on these animals during guided tours, night excursions and flight shows and raises awareness on topics like environmental protection. The centre is committed to the protection of the birds of prey and hosts and collaborates with the departments of veterinary medicine and biology of the university of Padova.
Here children can finally admire the lovely owls and screech owls they had previously encountered in stories and fairy tales close up. As it is rather unlikely to spot these animals in nature, you should definitely not miss such an amazing experience!
