About
Lloyd and Rose Buck
Lloyd and Rose Buck are the world’s leading authority on trained birds for film and television.
UK bird trainers and suppliers of birds of prey, corvids, owls and waterfowl — for documentary, drama, commercial and stills production. Based near Bristol, working worldwide.
Lloyd’s passion for birds began at a very young age and he has been lucky enough to turn it into a long, rewarding career. He has an instinctive, intuitive way with the birds, and is also an accomplished wildlife presenter.
Rose was a nursery nurse for many years, but with an interest in natural history. Her nurturing, patient nature translates well into imprinting the waterfowl, rearing the starlings and the other birds.

“Our birds are our family business and our income, but they are not just a way of earning a living. To us, they are part of our family.”
Lloyd and Rose Buck
In their words
“Looking after our birds is not just our career and job, it is a lifestyle — you have to be there for them seven days a week, but we love it. We describe ourselves as bird behaviourists and handlers, specialising in working with our birds for many TV and film sequences. Because we always make sure the birds enjoy themselves, we can get the best out of them without compromising their welfare.”
