in the Eagle Arena at Landskron Castle
Our birds of prey and owls are excellent and, most of all, authentic actors for nature films, trailers, feature films and documentaries. Our experienced falconers will also make it possible for actors completely inexperienced with birds of prey to learn the natural handling of birds that’s necessary for films.
You’re looking for a white snowy owl like in “Harry Potter”, or a cheeky raven like the one in “Nanny Mc Phee”, or a majestic golden eagle like in “Brothers of the Wind”? Then you’ve found the right place.
We’re very happy to cater to your wishes and needs and, following an appropriate lead-time, our birds will be able to exhibit their natural behaviour on command. Animal protection is of the utmost importance to us, as well as consideration of animals’ needs and their wellbeing.
NOTE: As of January 1st 2005, the new country-wide Protection of Animals Act is in force. According to § 28, for all film and TV shoots with animals, permission (§ 23) must be requested from the corresponding authorities (district council, municipality) prior to the productions.
