Certainly not the essential handbook. While this does provide a good overview and is an easy read, it does not go into great detail on many topics. Some of the sections are simply borrowed information from other resources. The "free gift" video emails were disappointing to say the least. The content is also not self produced, but videos you can find on youtube, and have probably already watched if you have a real desire and drive to learn about falconry. I suggest you skip this book and buy something a little more in depth. Philip Glasier's book of the same name is much better (regardless of being geared toward UK falconry).
This book explains the needs of birds of prey during their lives and what exactly is expected of you, the reader, as an owner to these majestic birds.I am trying to think of a subject this book doesn't cover but am at a loss.I feel this is the book to buy before you go and purchase the bird so you can make sure you can do the job and you'll have a, at the very least,basic knowledge of how to look after the bird, and everything that goes with that. I highly recommend it as a must-have if you're thinking of taking up falconry.Its honest, its in Laymans terms and all the different terms used in falconry are explained simply so the average person can easily understand.I also liked this book because its recent, (2014) so any prices,&information given are accurate, and the organisations listed are current and cover the U.K as well as USA.
Pretty good book on general knowledge and practice. It doesn't get too in depth but for the price it is well worth it and about what you'd expect. I would have loved it if this book had more detail or at least colored photos though.
What every beginner or even mature falconer/hawker needs. I am beginning and have gotten so much information from this book that it seems like I have been doing this for many years! Everything is explained neatly and in full detail. Falconry terms, equipment, best raptors for beginners, and much more!!! It seems Shakespeare himself was an avid hawkster in Stratford. He probably went out with his father, who taught him the fundamental of the sport.The author promises you free videos of hawks, but I went to the site and it did not happen. I don't think he should promise things he can't deliver.
This is a concise handbook which gives details of all aspects of falconry and hawking, from the different species of raptors and their characteristics - particularly useful to anyone new to falconry and considering the acquisition of their first bird, through necessary equipment,accommodation (I would like to have seen some illustrations of a good mews / aviary design), training techniques, and a good section on bird illnesses and first aid which I have not come across in other books I have read.In addition there is an excellent section on falconry terminology as well as a host of useful other sources of information - websites etc, and a link to some free videos.As the author himself states, you should read as many books on the subject as you can before taking the decisive step and getting a raptor of your own and I would rate this as the perfect companion to some of the heavier volumes that I have read.
Good book, easy to read and understand. I've just started and this book was perfect for me. Seems to cover everything you need to know to start out. It does stress the importance of working with a apprentice. I've read the other 'Falconry & Hawking' book by Phillip Glasier and in all honesty preferred this as I found it clearer, but perhaps that's just me, it also saved a fair bit of money. Definitely worth it.
I bought this book to familiarize myself with falconry as a preparation to read H is for Hawk. It is very informative, and interesting. I may never be a falconer, but I have learned a great deal about these magnificent birds of prey. Read, learn, and enjoy.
Great book Mr. Golding! It has thoroughly answered all my questions and provided so many new insights! It has been very inspiring and I very much look forward to the free videos that you offer along with this book. Thank you so much!
