National School of Falconry
Grange Over Sands, England
Gary at Grouse moors in Cumbria 1998

Radical Raptors School of Falconry is directed by Master Falconer Gary Worley. Gary's fascination with raptors and the craft of falconry began at the age of 11 when he obtained his first bird, an owl that led to a life-long commitment spanning 30+ years in the training, breeding and the conservation of birds of prey.

Gary owned and operated the National School of Falconry, NSF Bird Control and Wildlife Management in England for 15 years. He has bred and trained high quality falcons for falconers throughout the UK and for the ruling family of Qatar.

In 1980 Gary was selected as a participant in a hunting demonstration that was presented to H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth. In 2000, he had the honor to take Prince Philip on a hunting trip with Harris Hawks.

Gary established the first Bird of Prey center (Pacific North West Raptors) in British Columbia. Gary directs falconry demonstrations at locales such as Grouse Mountain and continues to do so at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. He has provided consultation to the Kamloops wildlife park regarding their birds of prey presentations set up requirements. Gary’s received the 2005 "BC Entrepreneur of the Year" award in the category of "Exceptional Sharing of Knowledge and Teaching of Others’.

When visiting the Greater Vancouver Zoo, make it a point to meet Hagrid the great horn owl and attend one of the free Radical Raptors "Bird of Prey" shows.
