Our durable Aluminum Composite skin provides a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that won’t rot or warp like traditional wood construction. Each panel features thin aluminum sheets bonded to a durable core, creating a lightweight, weather-resistant surface that requires minimal maintenance. Simply wash the panels with soap and water or pressure wash as needed to keep your Hawk Mews looking its best.

Our lightweight aluminum roof support system is engineered for exceptional strength and durability. Traditional steel roofing panels attach securely to the aluminum framework, creating a strong, weather-resistant roofing system. The roof system was evaluated by engineers and, in their words, is able to “hold a snow load of 12,000 lbs. conservatively.” The pitched roof directs rainwater toward the rear of the Hawk Mews, and every standard Mews includes a white steel roof.

The built-in Bath Pan Port Access door allows you to clean, empty and refill your raptor's bath pan without opening the main Hawk Mews door. This convenient feature saves time during daily maintenance while minimizing disturbance to your raptor and reducing the need to enter the Mews.

The built-in Food Port Access door allows you to feed your raptor without opening the main Hawk Mews door. The spring-loaded, inward-swinging door closes securely after use, and an interior feeding perch is positioned directly below the opening for convenient food placement. Mike’s raptors quickly learn the feeding routine and often move to the perch when they know it’s time to eat.

Mike designed the Hawk Mews with a 4-foot-wide sliding door instead of a traditional hinged door to provide greater control when entering and exiting the Mews. The smooth-gliding door can be opened only as wide as needed for you to enter, reducing the amount of open doorway around you and the opportunity for your raptor to fly past. When fully opened, the generous 4-foot-wide entrance provides plenty of room to comfortably enter or exit while holding your raptor on the fist.

Vertical bars have long been used in traditional falconry mews to help protect a raptor’s feathers when it flies against the barred opening. Our standard Hawk Mews features 1/2-inch aluminum vertical bars spaced 2 1/2 inches on center, providing visibility and ventilation while maintaining a raptor-friendly design. For smaller raptors, we also offer an optional configuration with aluminum bars spaced 1 inch apart.

Every Mike Dupuy Hawk Mews includes a 4-foot by 4-foot built-in weathering area constructed with 1" x 2" nylon-coated steel wire. This open-air section gives your raptor access to natural sunlight, fresh air and rain whenever it chooses, while still remaining inside the Mews. The integrated design eliminates the need to move your raptor outside and tether it to a separate weathering perch, saving time and reducing the risks associated with tethered outdoor weathering.

The Mike Dupuy Hawk Mews combines Window Panels and Solid Panels to provide your raptor with both viewing opportunities and areas of privacy and shelter. Our standard configuration includes one solid wall, which Mike recommends positioning on the northwest side of the Mews for added protection from prevailing weather. The solid wall also provides the flexibility for future expansion—if you add another raptor, you can purchase a three-wall add-on and roofing system that connects to your existing Mews to create a second chamber.
