The falconry heritage (as defined by UNESCO )
Falconry: a living human heritage, falconry is a traditional craft practiced in many countries of the world and is based on the breeding and training of Falcons with the aim of using them in hunting. Falconry was originally a means of providing food, but now it embodies the spirit of friendship and participation, it is mainly concentrated along the paths and corridors of bird migration and is practiced by people of all ages, men or women, amateurs or professionals. Falconers develop a strong relationship and spiritual bond with their birds. It is worth noting that breeding, training, handling and using Falcons for hunting requires a lot of patience and experience for falconers.
