      A Falconer By Chance

      Jun 28, 2021

      WHEN I first became involved with birds of prey, it was not falconry, but bird rehabilitation that occupied my time. I was 10 years old, already immersed in the world of cage birds: my father bred budgerigars, and my job was to keep them clean. Birth
