Falconry was a serious matter in Horgaard. Generations of birds of prey had been raised and trained there : generations of powerful hunting companions, tireless war messengers, and, on at least one occasion, life-saving air fire support.

Little Siggi, nine years old, already knew everything about this critical aspect of his education as a young noble. The different kinds of birds, how to handle them, and how to train them. The history of the art of falconry, the evolution of the techniques, and their regional particularities. He even knew the names and stories of all the famous birds raised by his family much better than he knew the names of their owners.

However, his falconry knowledge remained desperately theoretical. He had already been allowed to fly a trained kestrel, but the adults considered him too young for a greater bird.

Sooner or later, he would train his own mighty eagle. In the meantime, he had much fun handling the lure.

Another photo-opportunity provided by falconry centres is portraiture of perched birds such as this peregrine.

Another nice touch at Chester Falconry was the effort made by the falconers to allow kids to get a real close up by holding birds on the glove.
