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

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:
