Christmas Gift Guide

All of our Adoption Packages are considered a symbolic sponsorship for a term of one year from the date of purchase, for which the selected animal will continue to remain under the ownership and care of Baytree Owl and Raptor Centre. We endeavour to offer animals up for adoption only where we believe that they - in all likelihood - would remain in the collection for a period of at least one year. However, due to the nature of the charity's position as a licensed zoological park, we cannot guarantee that the adopted bird will remain at the attraction for the full term of adoption, nor are we able to ensure that your chosen bird will be viewable on the day of your visit. In the event that the selected animal is transferred away from Baytree Owl and Raptor Centre, dies, or is otherwise no longer housed at the collection (such as in an off-show capacity) either permanently or temporarily, the sponsorship will continue as an "Honorary Adoption" - that is, the symbolic adoption will continue to be honoured by us for the remaining duration of the sponsorship. The original adopter will not automatically be notified of this, however more information about a bird's particular circumstances can be provided on request. ​Additionally, the type and duration of the sponsor's recognition varies based on the chosen tier and - depending on the recognition format included with your adoption tier - we cannot 100% guarantee that the sponsor's name will be visible on any given date; we recommend contacting us before visiting to check the sponsor's current recognition status. ​​We wish to ensure our adoption packages offer a genuine representation of the sponsored bird, and in the vast majority of cases the image supplied will be that of the chosen bird. However in very rare instances where a high quality photograph of an individual bird cannot be obtained (or, in the case of breeding pairs, where a clear distinction between individual birds cannot be made) this will instead be substituted with the best available image of that species from our collection. However all images used are a genuine photograph of a bird housed at Baytree Owl and Raptor Centre. ​All adoption packages are valid for one year from the date of issue, until the end date shown on your certificate and admission pass (where applicable). To redeem your admission pass, simply present at the till upon arrival. ​Photocopies will not be accepted, but lost or stolen tickets may be reissued, subject to discretion. Note that each type of pass can only be used once (once per visit for Annual Membership pass) against admission for the named adoptee. ​In situations where more than one person (including families or organisations) have been named on the adoption package, the voucher entitlement will still pertain to admission for one person.
