THENational Union of Hunters and Falconers has prepared a brochure dedicated to falconry, an informative guide to be distributed in schools in the didactic field. The original project is that of the International Association for Falconry (IAF) and the Dutch Museum of Falconry which is based in Valkenswaard. Translation and re-adaptation, handled by the UNCF secretary Andrea Villa, allowed distribution among students. The booklet is divided into several chapters. In particular, the falconry as hunting with specially trained birds of prey, not to be confused with the shows that see the hawks themselves as protagonists.
The guide then explains to the students how falconry can be practiced with different birds of prey, the most common of which is the peregrine falcon, not forgetting the goshawk. The two birds are different, not only in appearance, but also in their way of hunting. The peregrine falcon is very fast and is used to hunting in very open spaces (moors or meadows), favoring flying prey.
When you go hunting with the goshawk, however, you also use the dog or ferret: the prey flee from hiding places and the bird of prey pounces on them. Finally, there is no lack of references to the history of falconry and training methods.
