Falconry & the Medieval World: A Live Bird Presentation

Wingmasters’ Birds of Prey returns to the Hammond Castle Museum!
Falconry is the sport of hunting with a trained bird of prey. It is also the demanding art of training a predatory bird that is by nature wary of people to hunt cooperatively with a human partner. While the sport has a 4,000-year history, its glory days were indisputably in the medieval period. While this presentation centers around live birds used in falconry, it is not a flight demonstration but a history-rich look at an ancient sport.

Please note: This program is only intended for ages 8 and up.
