(22,669 posts)They have no interest in humans, except when we help them hunt, as in Falconry. This one is certainly partnered with a falconer.

(12,463 posts)And I would love to become a falconer.
A neighbor of mine at the old apartment complex I lived at,he had 3 falcons.
When they shrieked indoors it was deafening. Especially standing next to them.
Anyhow he'd let his falcons out on the balcony he had three perches set up on his balcony. It was always cool to see the hawks perching out there.
I got to hold his falcons with the glove on sometimes. They were really sweet birds.
