Falconry was far more than mere hunting in the Middle Ages: Nobles used birds of prey as status symbols and sporting equipment. Peregrine falcons, which achieved incredible speeds during dives, and hawks with their agile flying maneuvers, were particularly common. In many courts, boys learned early to feed, train, and reward the birds so they would return on command. In contrast, children outside of school often observed the events from a safe distance, full of wonder at the close bond between falconer and animal.

The falconer appeared with a padded glove, falconer's stick, and weatherproof hat to protect the bird’s feathers and himself. The bird's foot had small rings for identification and control. The clothing of wealthy families was often in blue, red, or purple, while the common people wore more muted earth tones.

In 2010, UNESCO declared falconry as an intangible cultural heritage. Today, coloring enthusiasts like to use historical motifs to revive the ancient craft. On your coloring picture, you can suggest wingspans, trace feather structures with fine lines, and capture the special atmosphere of a hunting preparation.
