Noble art of
Falconry Falcons form a very well specialized and
spectacular group of
hunting birds and the art of hunting using them is
termed as `Falconry'. Falconry, once an important means to supplement
diet of
inhabitants of the deserts of
Middle East countries, is now
enjoyed more as a traditional sport of hunting. History tells us of
emirs, chieftains and nobles practicing hawking from ancient times.
`Hunting with falcons, keeping them in captivity, their healthcare and
use of advanced methods in training them were widely discussed in the
period of the
Omayyads and the khalifs of the dynasty' (Schlegel &
Verster 1979).
