The husband and wife team of Matthew and Kristin Morgan have an interesting new business called The Eyrie.
It is a Birds of Prey service-based company offering demonstrations, pest control and eventually a rehabilitation centre. Once we can all gather again Matthew and Kristin can do live, free-flight demonstrations with their team of trained birds at schools, local libraries, company and family events, campgrounds, fairs, festivals and more.
Matthew and Kristin are both highly trained and while they work towards their eventual goal of having a facility open to the public and a rehabilitation center, they would love to connect with you to talk about possible educational outreach programs. For details visit theeyrie.ca or find them on social media.
