THE FALCONRY KEEPER'S HANDBOOK

Do you want to successfully train, fly, and hunt with birds of prey while confidently understanding the discipline, responsibility, and traditions behind ethical falconry?

Are you searching for a practical and beginner-friendly guide that explains how to properly raise, train, handle, manage, and care for hawks, falcons, and eagles while avoiding the common mistakes that often lead to poor training results, stress-related behavior, and inadequate bird welfare?

This complete handbook was carefully designed to help both beginners and experienced falconers better understand the art, discipline, and long-term commitment involved in successful falconry.

Falconry is one of the oldest and most respected hunting traditions in the world. The partnership between falconer and bird of prey is built on patience, trust, observation, consistency, and respect for natural instincts. Hawks, falcons, and eagles are intelligent and highly specialized hunters that require proper care, structured training, environmental management, and ethical handling to thrive. However, successful falconry requires much more than simply owning a bird of prey. Proper housing, feeding, conditioning, flight training, and behavioral understanding are essential for long-term success.

Without the right guidance, many beginners struggle with trust-building, weight management, handling techniques, hunting preparation, flight conditioning, environmental stress, and equipment management. This book provides practical guidance and realistic solutions that help you avoid common mistakes while building a successful and rewarding falconry experience.

Inside this detailed falconry handbook, you will learn how to properly choose, raise, train, fly, hunt with, and care for birds of prey throughout every stage of falconry development. You will discover how to create suitable housing systems, establish effective training routines, encourage healthy behavior, and improve hunting performance while maintaining proper welfare standards.

This handbook also explains falconry equipment, feeding schedules, mews setup, free-flight conditioning, recall training, hunting preparation, stress reduction techniques, environmental management, hygiene practices, and long-term bird management strategies that support healthier and more successful raptors.
