Falconry By Robert Rolling Hills 2006
Falconry,which is using trained birds of prey to hunt, has been regarded as a noble art for a long time. The falcon is a symbol of high birth and luxury. Falconry is currently the only sport were men work with trained wild animals to hunt other animals.
The birds used for falconry are Osprey, Sea Eagles, True Eagles, Buzzards, the Harris Hawk, True Hawks, Falcons and Owls.
Falconry takes a lot of care and training. That is the most important part of falconry. To be a falconer and train birds to do falconry takes years of training.
The question everyone asks about falconry is "How do you get the bird to come back?" I think that the people who own the birds learn a special way to get them back, and that is the most important part of the training.
