Friends, I'm going to let you in on something interesting. I go to the UAE very often, and I have been fascinated by the Falcons that flood the region. The local sheiks love this bird, which is also carnivorous. It is also used for a variety of sports and is the favorite bird of the UAE. During my last visit to Dubai. I had a good look at the falcon and decided to photograph it on my wrist. One has to keep a protective covering so that the talons of the falcon don't sink into your flesh. All in all, it was a very interesting experience, but I cannot keep the falcon as a pet as the rich and affluent do in Dubai.

I understand that these birds can form very close bonds with humans I would love to have a bird of prey companion

@madan02 I think it would be great to have one, But I don't think I would be very good at keeping one so maybe I don't want one after all
