Lord of the Wings
Jack (the one on the right) is a 15 year old Harris Hawk that has his home at Lord of the Wings in Prestatyn. They were in Llandudno last month showing off to the public.
Fena (again the one on the right) is a Western Screech Owl that also has its home at Lord of the Wings.
According to their Facebook Page Lord of the Wings was founded on 5 May 2014. It is a Community Interest Company, that uses birds of prey, medieval history and weaponry to engage with the public and deliver educational topics. It was set up to carry on the work of a company (Coastal Hawks Project) that is no longer trading. Their aim is to impart a greater understanding of birds of prey to all members of the public, both young and old alike.
