The quarry varies from birds like pigeons,stone curlew,houbara to other small mammals like rabbits.

The other option is to fly your bird to lure.Instead of hunting,you train the bird to identify the lure and return to it when presented.Less involved than actually hunting quarry and traditionalist may scoff at it.That said training to fly to the lure is part of training the bird and comes before one can start flying the bird at other quarry.

The hunting season here starts in the cooler months and its a big deal amongst the locals.The next time you are in Souq Wakif, check out the shops that sell falcons.

I'm interested in finding out if there are other English speaking folks here in Qatar that are into falconry.I mentioned "Filipino" in my post since they are a pretty large community here but I'm interested in talking to anyone who speaks/understands English :-) !

That sounds like an interesting hobby! What do you train your falcon to do?
