Covering the five family groups - hawks, falcons, eagles, buzzards and owls - this is a detailed and practical guide to training birds of prey. It discusses the merits of keeping and flying birds from each group, paying particular attention to owls, and provides advice on pursuing the sport successfully, emphasizing throughout that the welfare of the birds should come first. The author is a third-generation falconer. She owns the National Birds of Prey Centre, which was founded by her father, and also wrote "Falconry: Care, Captive Breeding and Conservation".
