In 2019, the The Freedom Flight enclosure, pictured above, was completed at Minton Farm at a cost of $50,000. It is a 12m wide by 6m high circular flight enclosure. This is the first of its kind in SA.
During 2020, three additional flights have been added to the Freedom Flight to the value of $30,000. These facilitate housing three species at any one time, that can take turns in the flight area to strengthen wing muscles.
The circular design allows birds of prey to have a continuous flight pattern with no end in sight. This enables them to reach extreme levels of fitness in order to be released with the best possible chance of survival in the wild.
The facility is available for use by members of the community, Vets, rescuers, and all animal institutions as a free community service to complete rehabilitation of injured and orphaned birds of prey that come into care, in an effort to improve biodiversity.
