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.
