Falconry Leashes

Falconry leashes are an essential component of the art of falconry. Along with a wide variety of other necessary equipment, falconry leashes are used during the training process and to keep the bird captive. Falconry is an ancient art that is now practiced throughout the world, and a host of equipment is now available to make learning this fascinating sport significantly easier.

Hawks, eagles and falcons are all used for the purposes of falconry, with eagles being the largest and most powerful of the three classes. Birds are classified also by their wing sizes, with eagles falling into the broadwing category. Leashes are used no matter what type of bird the falconer uses. As the name suggests, they keep the bird leashed to its perch and are primarily used when the bird is resting.

A new kind of leash, and one that Mike's offers, is made of Dacron, a very strong synthetic material that is a replacement for the traditional leather material used in other leashes. The leash has two small loops at the end to attach it to the jesses and to the perch. One may select varying lengths, including four feet, three and a half feet and two feet.

Mike's Falconry Supplies also stocks an excellent selection of many other necessary pieces of gear for the falconer, including radio-tracking receivers and transmitters and apprentice kits for novices. Send an email to mikes@mikesfalconry.com for further information on falconry leashes.
