Books are a very important part of modern falconry. They convey large amounts of information to us in an easily understandable way. Falconry however is much more than what can be learned from written text. The reactions and body language of the bird which are most important must be experienced for one to fully understand and appreciate the sport. This is probably the most compelling reason for a sponsor. With this in mind. There are still many good books that will aid you in your over all knowledge and in helping you to first prepare for the falconry exam and later your new hawk. The books listed are by no means all of the available books. In fact there are many more books that are as good or better than these listed. However these books will give you a solid foundation in which to enter the sport of falconry.
