Falconry Gear

Proper and high-quality falconry gear is important to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the art of falconry. While it takes many hours of training and patience to become a falconer, good falconry gear will make the process faster and more efficient for both human and bird. The art of falconry has been practiced for many hundreds of years, and falconry gear has come a long way in its quality.

Originally practiced in the days of ancient Mesopotamia, falconry became most popular in Japan, Europe and the Arabian countries. Hawks, falcons and eagles are the primary birds of prey used in the art of falconry, and have many different important characteristics. Apprentice and novice falconers will start with a smaller, easer-to-train bird such as a red-tailed hawk.
