Falconry: The Essential Guide
Aimed at both those who are on the point of taking up falconry as well as those who already have hawks, this guide examines all aspects of the sport and is packed with practical advice and information. The author's enthusiasm for his subject is infectious and the text is written in a clear, accessible style. His realistic approach to falconry is demonstrated by his assertion that we should "not let people over-complicate the theory" and that we should "stick to common sense and consistency."

About the author
Steve Wright
106 books15 followersSteve Wright, a playful and innately curious soul, enjoyed an eleven-year professional football career with the Cowboys, Colts, and Raiders, yet these years did not define him.
Driven by his entrepreneurial instincts, he created an innovative misting company, Cloudburst, that cooled professional sports, the US military, NASA, and the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics.
His motto to leave people, places, and things better than he found them also led to his work on behalf of Globall Giving to provide gently used sports equipment to over a million children across thirty-five countries and counting.
Forever a lover of adventure, Steve joined the cast of Survivor for thirty-one days of starvation where he embraced the jungle of Nicaragua and emerged more passionate about life. His journey of continuous growth includes an unparalleled passion for physical and mental fitness which he practices and shares with his community in Malibu, California.
Steve now brings his voice to the public debate on healthy masculinity and more broadly humanity through his memoir, Aggressively Human, inspiring others to embrace empathy and kindness as a complement, not a challenge, to aggression.

Falconry is the sport of kings.
I actually had an interest 10 years ago when I saw my mate posting a picture online.
Just lent these 2 books from the library to recollect what the interest was.
Basically,
A harris Hawk looks to be the beginner bird.
With the Redtail hawk being the second and finally the peregrine being the last bird for the professionals.
Some people are very very interested in hawking it has a deeper responsibility than first imagined.
Great books.
