About Teaching Talons (The Animal Ambassadors)

Teaching Talons provide educational animal encounters at a variety of events and locations. Classing ourselves as 'Edutainment', we have never received a bad review and pride ourselves on high animal welfare standards.

With our fantastic collection of friendly, exotic, and companion animals, Teaching Talons can attend a whole variety of occasions including- but not limited to schools, birthday parties, care homes, private or public events, corporate events, and team building, clubs, and more to add that special something! We even offer phobia cure sessions with a qualified therapist!

Our animals include owls, reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and giant invertebrates (creepy crawlies!) and bookings can be tailored if your event has a theme (for example Halloween, Easter, Christmas, Harry Potter, and more!).

Would highly recommend!

We booked Teaching talons for my son’s 7th birthday and we had a few 3/4 year olds present too. I can’t recommend the whole experience enough! Becky and Yaz were just brilliant with all the children, kept them really engaged and the range of animals and the level of interaction the children could have with them was great. Adults and children were equally captivated! Brilliant, fun and educational party. Thank you so much Teaching Talons!

Fantastic event

Amazing event for a summer party at my childminding setting. Everyone had smiles in their faces and were in awe of all the wonderful animals.
It was delightful the way Teaching Talons staff worked with all age groups of children from babies to 10 year olds and adults.
Thank you so much I will definitely be booking for next year soon and make this an annual event.

Hi Catherine, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. It's very much appreciated and great to read! It's always important to be flexible when there are a wide range of ages present and more challenging, so it is wonderful that you felt we managed and pitched it well! Great to see the babies giggling away at the animals antics and having the older children up to hold the owl, cuddle the rats, pet the dog and more! Definitely some future animal keepers amongst them! We look forward to working with you again next year. Becky

Amazing show with great Harry Potter link

We had a Harry Potter pack holiday with our brownies and this just fitted so well with it. We saw and held scanners, Ron’s owl pidqwigeon and the dog at the end was so fun using our wands!

Fantastic service, Becky and team were AMAZING

Well what I can even say to sum up teaching talons! They arrived at the agreed time and set up in our home. The guests were 12 4/5 year olds and they loved every second of it, they each got to learn shout different animals and hold various creatures! Everyone was smiling ear to ear, they all got to hold an owl, which was a highlight for all kids. Becky was so lovely and knowledgeable, amazing with the kids , entertaining and energetic. Our party theme was dinosaurs and Becky and the team tailored the animals to this, they even bought chip the gorgeous dog who was revealed at the end wearing a Dino costume. The kids LOVED it. Could not recommend enough, what a great business we’ll definitely use again - certainly beats anotherr hall party!!

Would highly recommend.

The only way to really get to know how good a supplier is, is when things don't go according to plan. Teaching Talons pulled everything out the bag to make sure the children got an experience they would not forget. A massive thank you to the team for their customer service and the outstanding experience provided. Would highly recommend - trusted and passionate supplier!

Hi Christos, Thank you for taking the time to leave a glowing review and we're so glad the creepy crawlie and reptile session was enjoyed by the children. We crammed in as many as we could and they all loved it and were very brave! Thank you for your patience and for having us back- we really appreciate it! Becky

Perfect, just perfect.

Came to our wedding and set up without us even noticing them. The animals are amazing with a great variety and the trainers are highly professional.
Children were besotted by them and it gave the adults a chance to catch up, but all the adults also enjoyed the animals too. Chip the rescue dog is a superstar and Pigwidgoen the owl was a huge hit.
It was an absolute pleasure having them attend our wedding and I fully intend on using their services again in the future.
Highly recommended. Thank you very much.
