Falconry and Hawking: The Essential Handbook - Including Equipment, Training and Health

It arrived on time and appears to be in new condition, but as it was new it's only to be expected 🙄

Arrived quickly and exactly what I was looking for. Very informative

Good information and straight to the point good book for all levels

Book arrived on time well packaged and in good condition.Three pages are dedicated to "go to our website and get free videos to download" went to the website and it does not exist

Very good well explained

Just so good and got here promptly.

Thought I would get more info in this book, not good enough for me.

Ok book found same info on internet to be honest. Brill seller

Falconry is a topic I want to learn about and possibly get into in the future, and this book is a great start to learning all about it. Definitly a good pick-up if you are interested.

Solo son copias fotostaticas del original y eso no lo dicen en la información

The book is shallow and seems more like a sort of half-motivated diary than a conclusive introductory book.If you really want to take up hawking, you should look at other books.

Good, if brief overview of the sport - very good for someone considering the sport/lite reading

Full of information for only 145 pages. He hits the high notes for beginners imo. If ur on the fence trying to decide if falconry is for you he outlines the cost, the hours daily involved, the cleaning retinue, the fact that it is a blood sport, you will need to kill the prey ur raptor catches if they don’t. He plays it all bare. Zero disillusions. He has the glossary you will find on tests. He lists the state websites where you can find out about licensing. He lists state and international clubs. He goes over husbandry, anatomy, raptors in captivity, etc. I’m glad I purchased it. He also lists other books you should add to your falconry book collection if you decide falconry is for you including a medical type book if ur not near an avian vet. Best $10 I’ve spent on knowledge in years. I have access to some of this online, but it’s great to have it in one little portable book I can take with me. The only negatives I have would be these two- 1) I would have loved color photographs & 2) the link to the videos is no longer active. I’m sure it’s expensive to keep a website going tho so I completely understand that and there are so many available on YouTube that it doesn’t really bother me. I’d just take that out of the next printing, but I’d definitely add more pictures even if in black and white. Some pictures of the equipment would be nice too. He does an excellent job of telling you what the prices were at the time if the book’s printing tho and the price of a total kit (around $1500 if you go whole hog). I was at a VA appt in Loveland, CO the other day and got to hold two of three raptors. I’ve volunteered with them before and saved some before. And I think I might be ready to try falconry. They are starting a program. I’m a disabled veteran so anything that gets my head out of chronic pain is welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and bc it’s packed full of information it’s the type that the more you read it the more you absorb and if ur like most ppl- reading before bed lets you retain it better. Learned that in a psychology class in college. lol. Hats off to the writer bc I think he did an excellent job. He kept it short and sweet. Just the facts.
