Скачать или смотреть History + Highballs: A Brief History of the Art of Falconry

Falconry is an ancient interaction and working relationship between human and animal. It has been practiced in some form almost universally for centuries. The ancient art has evolved from simple nomadic tradition to a royal sport to a highly regulated pastime that more than 4,000 falconers in the US and tens of thousands worldwide enjoy. Jeff Curtis, a licensed North Carolina falconer, found his love for raptors back in college. Today, he avidly shares the art form with others. Handling and flying a bird of prey and seeing these magnificent creatures up close is a unique experience. For most people interested in falconry, committing to becoming a licensed falconer can be unrealistic and not possible. It is Curtis Wright Outfitters’ mission and goal to offer a glimpse into this ancient and mysterious sport.
