🦅 Meet Eddie the Bateleur Eagle! 🦅
Handled by Jake here at Gauntlet Birds of Prey, Eddie is a truly special ambassador for his species. Bateleur eagles are known for their striking colours, incredible agility in flight, and that unmistakably short tail that gives them their name.
Bird handler Jake is here to introduce one of Gauntlet’s newest arrivals — an adorable baby American kestrel! 🦅✨
It’s baby season at Gauntlet, and we’re excited to welcome lots of new arrivals over the coming weeks.
Stay tuned to meet all of our incredible new youngsters! 💛

🦅 Enrichment Time with Jake! 🧩✨
Our dedicated keeper Jake has been spending time with Denis and Menice during their enrichment session.
Enrichment is an important part of their daily routine, providing mental stimulation, encouraging natural behaviours, and helping keep them active and engaged.
It’s always wonderful to see Denis and Menice exploring, investigating, and enjoying the challenges Jake creates for them! 💚

At Gauntlet, conservation is at the heart of everything we do.
Our birds inspire us not only to care for them here, but to protect their wild counterparts around the world.
Through our fieldwork and conservation projects, our team works to conserve threatened species and the habitats they depend on.
Conservation isn’t just part of what we do — it’s why we do it. 🦅🌍💚
