Falcon for sale

Bargaining for a Falcon. This is a sport of the wealthy in Oatar

It was easier to let the Falcons take down birds migrating than to shoot them.

Beautiful Falcon

It is not unusual to find a Falcon aboard an airliner traveling with their owner in the Middle East.

Falcon Hospital

Waiting room at the Falcon Hospital. Talk about an expensive hobby.

Falcons have their own perch to rest while waiting to be seen by a medical doctor

Their eyes are covered so as not to make contact with other birds
