Our birds make excellent animal actors for film and TV productions, commercials, photo shoots, live events, and promotional campaigns. Available for hire across the UK, they bring intelligence, personality, and reliability to every project.

Not only do our birds perform confidently on set, but they also adapt quickly to new environments. Their calm temperament and exceptional intelligence allow them to follow technical direction with ease. In addition, many of our birds readily perch on people, props, and products, helping brands and production teams create engaging visual content.

Furthermore, several species can perform flight sequences that add movement, drama, and visual impact to a shot. Some birds also work comfortably alongside other animals, while others showcase unique behaviours such as dancing and interactive performances. As a result, our birds can enhance a wide variety of creative projects.

We offer a diverse range of birds for hire, including parrots, budgies, hawks, owls, and many other species. Moreover, our birds have extensive experience in both studio and location environments. Therefore, production teams can feel confident that they will perform reliably throughout a shoot.

Before we confirm any booking, we carefully assess the project to protect the welfare and safety of every animal involved. At the same time, this process helps us match the right bird and handler to your creative requirements. Consequently, you receive the most suitable animal talent for your production.

All of our handlers hold licences under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. Additionally, they hold the appropriate Dangerous Wild Animals Act licences where required, ensuring full compliance with UK legislation.

Lastly, Urban Paws can source almost any type of bird for productions throughout the UK. Whether you need a parrot for a commercial, a hawk for a film production, or a bird for a live event, our team can help. Contact us today to discuss your project and learn more about our birds for hire.

All our birds are highly experienced with a skill set. They are used to being in front of a camera or on set.

Our birds have been featured on Sandersons Design Group’s Spring Summer 2023 Collection, as well as shoots for Miss Guided, VistaJet and USwitch, to name but a few. Zara Kids recently used Mango the parrot in their 2023 Halloween campaign.

Moreover, our Doves were centre stage in a music video by popular rapper, Jay1, our Yellow Canaries starred in a music video for Wunderhorse, and we also supplied a Chick for a fun campaign with Axel Arigato.

Most recently, our budgies starred in a photography shoot for Walmart.
