Davies was born in 1935 in the Welsh mining village of Tonyrefail.〔Barry, D. (2005) ''Icy Battleground: Canada, the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Seal Hunt'', pp.5-10. Breakwater Books, Canada, ISBN 1550812114〕 Much of his early childhood was spent with his grandparents while his parents served in the war effort. His father was a rear gunner in the Royal Air Force (RAF), posted to India, and his mother worked in a munitions factory, returning home only on weekends.〔Davies, B. (1989). ''Red Ice: My Fight to Save the Seals'', p.39, Methuen London Ltd, London〕 At the end of the war, when Davies was 11, the family moved to England. He left school at 14, because of ill health, and worked at various manual jobs throughout his youth.,〔〔Clarke, C.
