Golden Eagle-foxes. Falconry

--English --Falconry has been practiced in many forms for thousands of years by many cultures. Some speculate that falconry dates back as far as 4000 - 6000 BC in Mongolia, Egypt, and possibly Asia, however there is no concrete evidence to support that. It is known that falcons were given as presents to Chinese princes as early as 2200 BC, Historically, falconry was a popular sport, and status symbol, among the nobles of medieval Europe and feudal Japan. Eagles and hawks displayed on the wall could represent the noble himself, metaphorically, as noble and fierce. The period of 500 A.D. to 1600 A.D. saw the peak of interest in falconry. It became a highly regulated, revered and popular sport among nearly all social classes in Europe. The sport was most popular among the upper class citizens in Europe, especially among the clergy, who were noted for their fondness for falconry. Pope Leo X was an avid falconer, who went on frequent hunting excursions with his birds.
--Català --La falconeria s'ha practicat de moltes maneres en milers d'anys i per moltes cultures. Alguns especulen amb les dates de la falconeria i retrocedeixen fins a 4000 - 6000 a. C. a Mongòlia, Egipte, i possiblement Àsia, tanmateix no hi ha gens d'evidència per donar suport a això. Se sap que els falcons es donaven com a presents als prínceps xinesos des de el 2200 a. C. Històricament, la falconeria era un esport molt popular, i símbol d'estatus, entre els nobles d'Europa medieval i del Japó feudal. Les àguiles i els falcons mostrats a la paret podrien representar al noble mateix, metafòricament, com noble i feroç. El període de 500 d. C. a 1600 d. C. Es considera el cim per a l'interès de la falconeria. Es convertia en un esport altament regulat, venerat i popular entre gairebé totes les classes socials a Europa. L'esport era més popular entre els ciutadans de classe alta a Europa, especialment entre el clergat, que destaquen per la seva afició per la falconeria. el Papa Lleó X era un àvid falconer, que se n'anava a freqüents excursions de cacera amb els seus ocells.

Algunos especulan que la cetrería se remonta hasta 4000 - 6000 aC en Mongolia, Egipto, y, posiblemente, Asia, sin embargo no hay pruebas concretas que avalen esto. Se sabe que los halcones fueron dados como presentes a los príncipes chinos desde 2200 A.C. la cetrería fue un deporte muy popular, y el símbolo de estado, entre los nobles de la Europa medieval y del Japón feudal.

This is a Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente film. This guy was the most reputated spanish nature specialists during 60s-80s. Falconry was his heartbeat

[Fieldsports1]

Fantastic, wow.

What else can I say

10/10

[afffred]

not likely, you can see how the eagles quickly masters the foxes' head/face (most of the time...)

[bouvier0]

Those are released young foxes to be killed for filming. They don't know enough to find cover. What a sport!

[bigjohntightlips]

amazing falconry and filming 5 * from me.

[Ed2033]

Why dont we see the Eagle killing the fox, all we see is it grabbing on thats it. Does the eagle get wounded or what?

[FullmetalAngyl]

What country are you from. Here in the USA you have to start with either a kestrel or a red-tailed hawk and you're apprenticed under either a General or Master falconer before you can move onto other species and some species you can only use once you've graduated to Master falconer.

Young Harris hawks are soft-boned.

I researched it, but its just a tease. Where I live I dont have the land.

I love Rodriguez de la Fuente. I recomend "El Arte de Cetrería" from him. A great book of falconry.

Superb bird of prey, respect to anyone that can handle and fly a Golden eagle.
