Falconry is the sport of hunting wild quarry in its natural habitat with trained raptors. Read that again
carefully: Falconry is a hunting sport. We are all about gamehawking.
Keeping a hawk in captivity without allowing it to fulfill its natural role as a predator is illegal and
unethical.
Falconry, on the other hand, is a highly regulated field sport, pursued by individuals with a passion for
hawks, their prey, and the land that sustains us all. It has been practiced for at least four thousand years, and represents
a unique achievement in the history of human civilization: the falconer forges an alliance with a wild bird, which does not
become domesticated, but retains its wildness and yet becomes a willing hunting partner. We are proud to keep this heritage
alive, and hope falconry will endure another four thousand years.
