Modern Falconry in Russia.
The first chapters of the book deal with the stages of revival of falconry in the USSR and modern Russia. The main part of the book is devoted to a detailed description of the ecology of birds of prey, peculiarities of their maintenance in captivity and preparation for falconry. The book tells in detail about the falconry ammunition that has not changed for centuries. It describes the most common diseases of birds of prey.
The FHT aims to establish a portal for the world's falconers and other interested parties to access aspects of the sport's rich heritage by linking existing physical archives, including international private and public collections, through the medium of an electronic archive. This archive features falconry furniture, works of art, books, correspondence from leading falconers and film and photographic material for the education and interest of falconer and scholar alike. We hope that, whatever your background or interest in our sport, you may find something of value through our archive to deepen your knowledge, understanding and passion for falconry and will help us, through your support, to preserve this precious cultural heritage for future generations.
