There is a rare opportunity to meet leading bird experts, Lloyd and Rose Buck, and some of their feathered friends, at the Courtyard Theatre, Hereford, on January 27th.

Our Life With Birds is hosted by the Bucks, who have devoted over 25 years to raising and nurturing a variety of wild birds. Lloyd and Rose are passionate about their birds, which they train specially for filming on location and in studios. They are considered to be the foremost experts at tracking birds and in-flight filming.

Their magnificent avian family includes Lady and Moses, the Peregrin Falcons, Ashley the Kestrel, Lily the Barn Owl, Poppy the Pigeon and a large number of starlings, geese and swans.

They have worked with almost every television wildlife presenter including Sir David Attenborough, Steve Backshall, Chris Packam and Bear Grylls, and they have provided birds for the likes of BBC Top Gear, Poldark, Countryfile, and even a new movie for Disney.

In addition to Rose and Lloyd sharing their tales and experiences they will also be taking a selection of birds with them to feature in the show. This will be a truly unique interactive experience, not just for bird loving enthusiasts but also for anyone who relishes the opportunity to see birds outside of their wild habitats. The special evening will be led by the Bucks and supported by their film footage as they share their insights, stories and experiences of their world with birds.

“Looking after our birds is a not just our career and job, it is a lifestyle,” said Lloyd.

The Bucks describe themselves as bird behaviorists and handlers, and say that because they always make sure the birds enjoy themselves they can get the best out of them without compromising their welfare.
