Let's talk about falconry

I don’t know much about it, but it sounds awesome. Anyone have any experience with falconry?

Dad owned a Ford Falcon. He liked it!

There is/was a Doper who got their falconry license; she posted several REALLY interesting threads on it. I can’t do a proper search, but they shouldn’t be hard to find.

One of the most fascinating things were her stories of where the birds come from; I had no clue they weren’t hand-raised.

bobkitty, you’re probably thinking of these two threads started by NajaNivea back in 2008 and 2009:

Falconry stuff, part deux (allegedly, I’m qualified!)
Falconry stuff/ethics of hunting/etc
