With Christmas approaching I searched for pressies on the internet and found something I might well do next spring or summer myself. It's a fotograph-our-birds event held by a falconry (in German):

Sounds like a good idea to get some good shots and gain some experience in bird photography fast.

Nice. Birds of prey are always nice targets for the camera lens.
I've never done one of those specifically for photographers; they usually get some special quality time up close which is great for head and detail shots, but as soon as they fly them you'll still need that long, fast lens.

If you do, don't forget to share the results!
