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).
Hack (falconry) - In falconry, to hack a newly-fledged hawk means to feed it but let it fly loose; when it has learned to fly and has started to hunt, it is caught and trained for falconry.
Lure (falconry) - A lure is a device used in falconry. It is a pair of bird wings attached to an object which is swung round and round in a cord, for the falcon to chase.
Falconry (training) - Training raptors (birds of prey) is a complex undertaking. Books containing hundreds of pages of information and advice by experienced falconers are still rudimentary at best.
Day-old cockerel - In falconry, a day-old cockerel is a recently-hatched male domestic fowl chick of a breed which is bred for egg-laying but its males are no use for rearing for eating as roasting chicken. They are available in large numbers as a by-product of commercial rearing of laying hens, and have greatly simplified the problem of where to get feed for falconry birds.
