“On the advice of a friend I went to the top of Grouse Mountain to see the flying demonstration put on by Pacific Northwest Raptors. I was so impressed by the birds, but even more so by one the falconers, Caolaidhe Lundy. Her relationship with the birds was inspiring and her rapport with the audience was charming. I have returned to Raptors many times now of course for the birds, but especially for encounters with Caolaidhe, which are educational, funny and unforgettable”.

“I had the pleasure of experiencing Caolaidhe’s passion and knowledge for birds at Island Raptors. She went above and beyond in her explanations and it was her passion and zest for life that rose above the louie-lifetimer experience I had of being so close to so many magnificent birds. It is those qualities of Caolaidhe that I feel most grateful to know.”

“ I am always looking for new and unique experiences while touring around the country. I’m from a small fishing town in Newfoundland so, I also enjoy a personal touch. My trip to Vancouver Island Raptors was all I hoped for and more. Caolaidhe’s enthusiasm for showing visitors a fun and informative time was as enjoyable as her obvious passion for the sanctuary and the birds.”

“Caolaidhe Lundy is a passionate bird lover and advocate for education and understanding. I went with a group to Pacific Northwest Raptors that was led by Caolaidhe. Her love and knowledge of the birds was infectious and the experience she provided us left a lasting impression and indelible memories that i'm truly grateful for’.

‘Caolaidhe is incredibly knowledgeable, personable and just a great person to be around. When she took a couple of my band mates and I to go fly hawks it was a day I will never forget. I am an avid birder and bird photographer and I learned so much from her. We have stayed in touch since and her talent as a Falconer and as an artist is inspiring’.

“Caolaidhe Lundy was a fantastic employee at The Raptors. She has an energetic and kind personality and has integrity and a strong work ethic. Her ability to inform and inspire guests at The Raptors was remarkable and her personable nature made her a pleasure for both staff and guests. Caolaidhe is also very creative and came up with lots of fun additions to demonstrations and events. Her energy around the birds projected calm and loving confidence, ideal when working with avian predators. Caolaidhe was one of my favourite humans to work with at The Raptors.”
