Our Falconry Insurance policy options
Put simply, we offer three different policy options…

Our Sports Travel Insurance will cover you whilst flying birds abroad for leisure or competition, and includes cover for medical and repatriation costs, trip cancellation and curtailment, plus more.
2. Travel Insurance Bolt-On
If you have an existing travel insurance policy in place with another provider such as your bank but it does not include cover for falconry, we can provide a bolt-on style of protection for your trip.
3. Sports Accident Insurance
Our Sports Accident Insurance is designed to protect you whilst flying birds in the UK, whether that be for leisure or competition. The policy provides a range of benefits including personal liability and income protection.

Why do you need Falconry Insurance?
Although the birds are trained to a high standard, the risk of injury or accident is still apparent, so ensuring that you have personal protection in place to safeguard yourself against any potential risk is highly advised.
Incidents such as minor scratches or bites from birds of prey have been reported as well as occasional illnesses when handling birds of prey via their food. Our Falconry Insurance provides cover against those medical costs as well as Liability protection against any property damage sustained from birds of prey.
