Falconry is the hunting of wild quarry in its natural state and habitat by means of a trained bird of prey. There are two traditional terms used to describe a person involved in falconry: a falconer flies a falcon; an Austringer (German origin) flies a hawk (Accipiter and some buteos and similar) or an eagle (Aquila or similar). In modern falconry the red-tailed hawk (Buteo Jamaicensis) and the Harris's hawk are often used. The words hawking and hawker have become used so much to mean petty traveling traders, that the terms falconer and falconry now apply to all use of trained birds of prey to catch game. There are many birds of prey centres world wide, which enable you to interact with the birds. Birds of prey often refer to Owls as well
