Falconry

I"m gonna be a falconer when I grow up! Did you know that falconry has been a favored sport of the English monarchy since the dark ages? These birds were really expensive, basically a status symbol. Only the super rich could afford them and the training for them.
Elizabeth I was a huge fan of falconry. She loved to hunt, and falconry was just one form of hunting.
