Falconry requires time, dedication and resources. For this reason, only a few enthusiasts keep this age-old tradition alive. The origins of falconry are very old, so it is a practice that has evolved over the years. It is possible that it was discovered in China, as there are many references in Chinese texts to the practice of falconry before Christ.
