Training Birds of Prey

Covering the five family groups - hawks, falcons, eagles, buzzards and owls - this is a detailed and practical guide to training birds of prey. It discusses the merits of keeping and flying birds from each group, paying particular attention to owls, and provides advice on pursuing the sport successfully, emphasizing throughout that the welfare of the birds should come first. The author is a third-generation falconer. She owns the National Birds of Prey Centre, which was founded by her father, and also wrote "Falconry: Care, Captive Breeding and Conservation".

With their glowing, unblinking eyes they seem to notice everything -- and to have the wisdom to understand it all, too. From biology and taxonomy, to housing, feeding, incubation, and rearing to training and flying, a master breeder and trainer of owls shares her extensive knowledge of these nighttime creatures -- both in the wild and in captivity. A general overview covers their anatomy, and a morphology details the various subfamilies of owl. Find out about the role their specially adapted -- and extremely beautiful feathers -- play in aiding their "silent flight"; the incredible variety of noises they make (and how these can help you identify a breed); the intricacies of their behavior patterns; and the way the babies are hatched, fed, and nurtured. Here's what you need for those first attempts at breeding and to train and hunt with your birds of prey. Dozens of remarkable full-color photos provide a close-up look at barn owls, Eagle owls, tawny owls, and snowy owls.
