- Falconry academy
A unique, intensive Arabian-style falconry course.
There is a constant demand for learning more about falconry, given the prominent position it holds in Emirati culture. WildFlight has developed a course for those who wish to learn the art of falconry properly — from equipment and husbandry to handling and the basic training of birds of prey.
- The syllabus
What the course covers.
All beginners are accompanied by an expert falconer with several years of experience in both Western and Arabian falconry techniques.
We also offer four levels of intensive adult training on a private basis, which can be conducted either on-site or at the client’s private residence.
01
Equipment
Hoods, jesses, swivels, leashes, gloves and telemetry — what each item does, how to fit it and how to care for it.
02
Husbandry
Housing, weight management, feeding, hygiene and recognising the early signs of a bird that is not right.
03
Handling
Picking up, carrying, manning and building the calm trust that underpins everything a falconer does.
04
Basic training
Creance work, calling to the glove, first free flights and the discipline of daily record keeping.
