- Book Synopsis
- The bond between birds of prey and humans is a primal relationship that has existed for many thousands of years. Working with hunting birds is still integral to many cultures, and falconry is again popular today as humans seek a more meaningful relationship with nature. The foundations of falconry lie within the bond between falconer and bird, which is rooted in the bird's natural survival instincts and its feeling safe in that relationship. Falconry offers the novice falconer a compact, illustrated introduction to the art and practice of falconry. Illustrated with more than 300 images, many of which provide precise step-by-step instructions, the book teaches the enthusiast how to familiarize a bird through 'manning' , building a bond with a bird, training with a lure, training using a glove, managing a bird's diet and weight, hooding, and free flight training, among many other skills and techniques. Illustrated with 300 photographs that will instruct and inspire, Falconry is a fascinating pictorial celebration of this craft which dates back to as early as 2,000 BC.
