A FALCONER is a person who trains birds of prey, such as hawks and falcons, for use in hunting or other activities. Falconry has been practiced for centuries, and is still popular today. Falconers must have a deep understanding of the behavior and needs of their birds, and must be able to train them to respond to commands. Falconers also need to be able to provide proper care for their birds, including feeding, housing, and medical attention.
