THE FALCONRY KEEPER'S HANDBOOK Do you want to successfully train, fly, and hunt with birds of prey while confidently understanding the discipline, responsibility, and traditions behind ethical falconry? Are you searching for a practical and beginner-friendly guide that explains how to properly raise, train, handle, manage, and care for hawks, falcons, and eagles while avoiding the common mistakes that often lead to poor training results, stress-related behavior, and inadequate bird welfare? This complete handbook was carefully designed to help both beginners and experienced falconers better understand the art, discipline, and long-term commitment involved in successful falconry. Falconry is one of the oldest and most respected hunting traditions in the world. The partnership between falconer and bird of prey is built on patience, trust, observation, consistency, and respect for natural instincts.
