		Falcons, kestrels, and hobbys are predatory birds (raptors) of the genus Falco.
		Falcons are at the top of the food chain and persistent dietary environmental pollutants are concentrated in the animals that make up the food chain.
		The falcons build their nests on the tops and sides of tall buildings, mimicking the cliffs and tall trees that are the preferred nesting spots.

	Falcons - info and games
		A Falcon is any of several species of bird of the genus Falco, such as the Peregrine Falcon which are raptors or birds of prey.
		The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest creature on the planet in its hunting method, the stoop, in which it soars to a great height, then free falls at speeds in excess of 420 km/h (260mph) into either wing of its prey, as not to harm itself on impact.
		The Peregrine Falcon appears on the left hand side of the Coat of arms of the Isle of Man. The Peregrine is used owing to the historical importance of the bird in the Isle of Man's.

	Falcon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some small insectivorous falcons with long narrow wings are called hobbies, and some which sometimes hover as they hunt for small rodents are called kestrels.
		The traditional term for a male falcon is a "tiercel", from Latin tertius, because it is roughly a third smaller than the female.
		The falcons are part of the family Falconidae, which also includes the caracaras, Laughing Falcon, forest falcons, and falconets.

	Barbary Falcons
		Barbary Falcons (Falco pelegrinoides) are small to medium sized falcons from extreme northern Africa and the lower Middle East.
		The Barbary tends to have large home ranges that may encompass many, but very scattered, oasises that are visited on a regular basis in their search for prey.
		Training for “waiting-on” style flights are rather easily accomplished with the Barbary as they like to fly high, and with their considerable acceleration and enthusiasm for the chase, position is rarely a problem.

	Barbary Falcon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Barbary Falcon (Falco pelegrinoides) is a medium-sized falcon about the size of a crow.
		The Barbary Falcon is similar to the Peregrine Falcon, but smaller at 33-39cm length with a wingspan of 76-98cm.
		Evidence of the differences between Peregrines and Barbaries includes that the Barbary breeds much earlier in the year, that they do not interbreed even though they may occupy tangent territories, and that their flight styles and ranges are considerably different.

	Falcon Whump: Team Whump Las Vegas Tour 2001
		Falcon obviously has fans in the Ferengi Consortium as he had the bumpiest glass, and was thus designated as the sexiest (glass, ears, whatever) of the Whump, as least as far as the rather short and sexually unappealing Ferengi were concerned.
		Falcon also sees a waitress that looks completely keep able, but as is normal with such women, she completely fails to act as a true Whump groupie should (although the lack of drool was appealing) and completely ignores him.
		Falcon recognizes that there may be significant benefits to the new look as several women pay more attention to him than is customary (note, this picture is not one of the interested women).

	Data Page -
		Falcons hunt by means of the stoop, the spectacular, sometimes vertical dive, terminating in binding to the prey (grabbing hold of), or giving it a glancing blow with hind talons.
		This blow is often fatal, if not, the falcon will “fetch up” up to 100 feet or more before finishing off the prey.
		Another way to fly falcons is from the fist out of the hood where high, ringing flights at crows, rooks or skylarks can be enjoyed.

	Desert Exposure Falconry April 2005
		Falcons generally need a very high-calorie diet compared to some of the hawks because of their metabolism and physical athleticism and activity.
		Not all of the birds are successful: One older falcon latches on to a hare, but is dragged around as the hare tries to break the bird's grip and escape, which it ultimately does.
		Jungemann brings out Lucky, a captive-produced Barbary Falcon, a breed normally found in North Africa, that is about six months old, and has a "jesse" attached to its leg.

		We are also producing Gyr hybrids from both species of falcon, but our priority is to produce pure wherever possible.

		The birds -- a saker falcon, a peregrine falcon and a Barbary falcon -- are beautiful animals, all a bit under a foot tall and armed with what appear to be razor-sharp talons.
		Each falcon stares keenly at the non-feathered intruders, who are only two feet away.
		Each falcon is also confined by a short leash that allows movement between the perch and the longer shelf below.

	Return
		Like the Barbary they are not that interested in going to ground or cover on downed quarry, but they are even more fixated on this trait than the Barbary.
		They were more like the Barbary than the Teita in regard to quarry near the ground and were able to continue attacks on missed quarry more easily than the Teita.
		I have very rarely had a tiercel Barbary outright kill a pigeon in a stoop, but these hybrids very frequently did this once they lost their reluctance to hit, what to them was, 'large' quarry.

		The dark plumage, slender profile and fl-and-white face pattern makes an Eleonora’s Falcon look most similar to a Hobby, but it is bigger, even longer and narrower in the wing and significantly longer in the tail.
		It is the only falcon with completely fl underwing coverts contrasting with pale flight feathers.
		The juveniles are barred on the underwing like most of the young falcons and are best identified by their long-winged, long-tailed shape and extraordinary gracefulness.

		Remember also that provision must be made for the care of the bird during your holidays, or you could buy a caravan or camper and take the bird with you.
		The bird is housed in a well-constructed aviary, which should have solid walls with wire weldmesh panels at one end, and/or partway along one sidewall.
		Only with falcons is it possible to fly multiple birds either sequentially, at game, or as a cast (two birds) at other species.
