A fascinating art full of curiosities and secrets. If we delve a little inside, we will discover a series of very ancient equipment still considered irreplaceable.
The hood serves to cover the eyes of the animal and helps it to remain calm in situations of potential stress
The glove, the tool that allows you to carry the bird of prey on the arm, without suffering annoying scratches
The worn, a rope to which a fake prey is attached consisting of feathers or a piece of padded leather, of a consistency suitable for the animal. Its function is to simulate a moving prey so that the bird of prey feels stimulated to chase it.
The filagna, a very long rope that allows, in the early stages of training, to carry out the first exercises even from a reasonable distance: you use it until you are sure of the confidence and readiness of your raptor
The geti, strips of strong and soft leather that are applied to the legs of the bird of prey and serve to hold it in a glove, block or pole
The bags for the transport of the worn out, of the meat, of the hood etc.
The transmitter to attach to the raptor's leg is used to understand where it is, in case it moves away
