Tour Falconry (falcon sport hunting) in Almaty region, Kazakhstan
Falconry is hunting with trained predators, especially hawks, and other birds of prey, to capture birds (birds) or land species such as hare, fox, etc. A person catches and tames a bird of prey to himself with conditioned reflexes, teaches it to hunt and loyalty. Then your bird catches other birds or any other prey, usually small to medium-sized four-legged animals. Falconry was a widespread practice in the Middle Ages in Europe and Asia. In November 2010, falconry was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, as it is one of the oldest traditional hunting methods, selective in relation to prey, ecologically clean and respectful of the environment.
