“Fine feathers make fine birds. Let not him that fears feathers come among wild-foule.”
I enjoy finding out all about the birds of prey I meet and work with. So in this section of birds of prey information I hope to share my findings of these facinating raptors with you.
As apprentice falconer it is important to understand each species of raptor you work with. The environmental factors of the natural habitat of the birds of prey, indicates the climate they prefer and the food sources that are available for then. Although there are many common factors amoungst the species of birds of prey, each seperate species has it's own special characterisitics, like metabolism, seasonal tendencies, species traits, etc.
The more I learn about the origin of the birds of prey, the better I understand them. Even though each specific raptor has, just like us humans, it's very own personality.
As I encounter more species of owls, falcons, hawks and eagles I will update this section with new information. It is not easy being a student, a budding falconer and maintaining a website, but I really enjoy it.

Information about the birds of prey I have had the pleasure to work with. Their characteristics, natural habitat, size, weight, wingspan and life expectancy. From the largest birds of prey, the eagles to the smallest kestrels and not forgetting the owls. There are the high flying birds of prey and the low flyers, but more on this in another section about birds of prey behaviour. Click on the maps or images below for more specific and detailed information about each of the birds of prey species.
