Falconry
Falconry or hawking is an art or sport which involves the use of trained raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game for humans. There are two traditional terms used to describe a person involved in falconry: a falconer flies a falcon; an austringer flies a hawk (accipiter). In modern falconry, buteos are now commonly used, and the words "" and "hawker" have become so much used to mean petty travelling traders, so "falconer" and "falconry" now apply to all use of trained birds of prey to catch game.

Falconry
The art of hunting with birds of prey, hawks, falcons and sometimes eagles. It was considered a noble pursuit, a sport, during the middle ages, the perquisite of the noble classes. There were sumptuary laws dictating which birds could be carried by nobles at various ranks; it was a matter of great prestige and expense.
